【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために、本発明の請求項１に記載の印刷装置は、画像とともに該画像の印刷情報が記録された記録媒体から該印刷情報を読み取って前記画像を印刷する印刷装置において、前記印刷情報が記録された前記記録媒体に前記画像の印刷回数が格納される印刷回数格納部を設けておき、前記印刷回数格納部に格納された印刷回数に基づいて前記画像の印刷を制御する制御手段を備えたことを特徴とする。 [0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, a printing device according to claim 1 of the present invention is a printing device for reading the print information from a recording medium on which print information of the image and the print information is recorded and printing the image. the print information may be provided a print number storage unit print number of the image on the recording medium body that is recorded is stored, it controls the printing of the image based on the print count stored in the print number storage unit And control means for

請求項６に記載の印刷方法は、画像とともに該画像の印刷情報が記録された記録媒体から該印刷情報を読み取って前記画像を印刷する印刷方法において、前記印刷情報が記録された前記記録媒体に前記画像の印刷回数が格納される印刷回数格納部を設けておき、前記印刷情報にしたがって印刷された画像の印刷回数を計数する工程と、該計数された印刷回数を用いて前記印刷回数格納部に格納された印刷回数を更新する工程と、前記印刷回数格納部に格納された印刷回数に基づいて前記画像の印刷を制御する工程とを有することを特徴とする。 The printing method according to claim 6, from a recording medium on which the print information of the image has been recorded with the image by reading the printed information in the printing process for printing the image, the recording medium body in which the print information is recorded And storing the number of times of printing of the image by storing the number of times of printing of the image, and counting the number of times of printing of the image printed according to the printing information, and storing the number of times of printing using the counted number of printings The method further comprises the steps of: updating the number of times of printing stored in a set; and controlling the printing of the image based on the number of times of printing stored in the number of times of printing storage section.

請求項７に記載の記憶媒体は、コンピュータによって実行され、画像とともに該画像の印刷情報が記録された記録媒体から該印刷情報を読み取って前記画像を印刷するプログラムが格納された記憶媒体において、前記印刷情報が記録された前記記録媒体に前記画像の印刷回数が格納される印刷回数格納部を設けておき、前記プログラムは、前記印刷情報にしたがって印刷された画像の印刷回数を計数する手順と、該計数された印刷回数を用いて前記印刷回数格納部に格納された印刷回数を更新する手順と、前記印刷回数格納部に格納された印刷回数に基づいて前記画像の印刷を制御する手順とを含むことを特徴とする。 The storage medium according to claim 7 is a storage medium storing a program which is executed by a computer and reads the print information from the recording medium on which the print information of the image and the print information are recorded together with the image. may be provided a print number storage unit for printing information is printed a number of times the image on the recording medium body that is recorded is stored, said program includes the steps of counting the number of times of printing of the printed image in accordance with the print information A procedure for updating the number of printings stored in the number of printings storage unit using the counted number of printings, and a procedure for controlling printing of the image based on the number of printings stored in the number of printings storage unit It is characterized by including.

【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、メモリカードの印刷回数格納部に、印刷対象の各画像の印刷回数が格納されているので、印刷装置で今まで印刷していない画像だけを印刷するといった印刷回数に基づいた制御を行うことができ、印刷情報の適切な運用を図ることができ、操作性を向上できる。 [0052]
【Effect of the invention】
According to the present invention, since the print count of each image to be printed is stored in the print count storage unit of the memory card, it is based on the print count that only the image that has not been printed by the printing apparatus is printed. Control can be performed, appropriate operation of print information can be achieved, and operability can be improved.
