[0031] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0032] figure 1 It is a functional block diagram of the printing system 100 of the first embodiment.

[0033] The printing system 100 is configured by connecting a printer 5 (printing device) to a terminal device 1 (printing control device) that controls the printer 5 . In addition, a printer 6 (printing device) can be connected to the terminal device 1 instead of the printer 5 .

[0034] The printing system 100 is a system in which an operator operates the terminal device 1 , and the terminal device 1 outputs print data to the printer 5 according to the operation, and the printer 5 prints on a print medium based on the print data. When the printer 6 is connected to the terminal device 1 , the printer 6 prints on the printing medium according to the operation of the terminal device 1 .

[0035] The terminal device 1 is connected to the printer 5 or the printer 6 via ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a printing control device, a printing system and a printing control method. The device that controls the printing device can efficiently acquire information on the format of data corresponding to the printing device, and the like. The terminal device has a communication interface capable of communicating with the printer. In addition, the terminal device includes a terminal control unit that requests the printer to communicate using a specific communication port through the communication interface, and receives a response status of the printer to the request. Based on the response, the terminal control unit discriminates the format of the data that the printer can handle, and uses the data of the discriminated format to communicate with the printer through the communication interface.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a printing control device, a printing system and a printing control method. Background technique [0002] Generally, when using a printing device such as a printer, it is necessary to transmit and receive data in a format conforming to the specifications of the printing device. Specifications related to the format of data such as a protocol often differ depending on the type of printing device. Therefore, conventionally, a method of setting a format of data corresponding to a printing device has been proposed (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). In the method described in Patent Document 1, a device capable of communicating with a plurality of printing devices and a dedicated server makes an inquiry to the server to select a protocol. [0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-362240 [0004] The method described in Patent Document 1 requires a server device, so it is convenient when using a...
