Example

[0052] [First Embodiment]

[0053] Next, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Here, a laser printer is used as an example of the printing apparatus, but the gist of the present invention is not limited to this, and it is obvious that it is also effective for printing apparatuses using LED dot matrix and liquid crystal shutters as light-emitting elements. In addition, as the printing mechanism, a printing apparatus using electrophotographic processing is used as an example, but it goes without saying that the gist of the present invention is that regardless of the printing mechanism, as long as the printing mechanism is manually fed for each page pair Any printing mechanism (inkjet, serial, thermal transfer, etc.) is effective for printing the recording medium provided by the paper port.

Example

[0140] [Second Embodiment]

[0141] Heretofore, an example in which each page constituting a document is printed on the recording paper supplied from the manual paper feed port 305 has been described, but in this embodiment, an example in which the following processing is performed is described. In the case of a document (one file stored in the spool file 702 ), the operation of the printing device is temporarily stopped at the page arbitrarily set by the operator, and the paper feed from the paper feed cassette 304 is switched to the paper feed from the manual feed port 305 . Since the configurations of the host computer 101 and the printing apparatus of this embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment, detailed descriptions are omitted here, and the contents of this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings described in the first embodiment.

Example

[0163] [Third Embodiment]

[0164] In the above-mentioned first embodiment and the above-mentioned second embodiment, the case where identification on the host 101 side indicates that the user has Figure 9 The paper feed key of the 10000 is instructed to allow data transfer, and the compressed image data of a certain page is transferred to the printing apparatus 100 .

[0165] However, the object of the present invention is not limited to this structure. For example, when the printing apparatus 100 has a memory with a sufficient capacity to a certain extent, it can be assumed that all pages or a part of the pages of the compressed image data are transmitted from the host computer 101 in advance. At this time, the host 101 first responds to the user's Figure 9 The instruction of the FEED key is recognized, and the information indicating the permission to transfer the print data notified from the printing apparatus 100 is recognized. Then, in response to the identification,...

Abstract

The invention provides an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a host-based printer. An information processing apparatus which controls a host-based printer includes a determination portion which determines designation of feed from a feed unit or manual feed port, a display control portion which, when it is determined that feed from the manual feed port is designated, causes a display portion to display a display to prompt the operator to insert a print medium into the manual feed port, an identification portion which identifies compressed-image data transfer permission corresponding a user instruction, and a transfer portion which transfers compressed image data of one page to the host-based printer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a host-based printer. technical background [0002] In recent years, there has been an increase in demand for inexpensive and small-sized printing devices, and further cost reduction has been demanded. [0003] In order to prevent the recording paper loaded in the paper feed cassette from being erroneously fed instead of the recording paper originally fed from the manual paper feed port, there is an example of the configuration of the printing device and the host computer as follows: The off-line job command is embedded in the data sent from the host computer, and the CPU on the printer side interprets the command, and stops the operation of the printing device based on the command to avoid a gap between feeding of recording paper to the manual paper feeding port and printing. Execution timing is skewed. (For example, Japanese Patent Application L...
