When connected to the PD printer apparatus 1000 via the cable 5000, language setting information including language settings displayed on the display apparatus is transmitted to the PD printer apparatus 1000. Also, the photographed image data is compressed into image data according to the JPEG format.

  As described above, by connecting the PD printer apparatus 1000 and the digital camera 3012 via the cable 5000 shown in FIG. 5, a printing system for directly printing image data from the digital camera 3012 on the PD printer apparatus 1000 is configured. Can do.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a fixed sentence data table (two-dimensional array) stored in the program memory shown in the program memory 3003a of FIG. By providing two keys X and Y, one fixed sentence data D (X, Y) can be referred to. Reference numeral 6001 (6003) denotes one of keys selected depending on the printer state, and is used as an X1 (X2) key when a camera is connected.

  6004 is selected when the set language information is Japanese. For example, for D (X1, Y1), the phrase “Japanese” in “When a camera is connected” is referenced, and D (X1, Y1) = Digital text data is connected to the printer. Can be referred to. The fixed phrase data stored in 6002 and the like can be displayed on the viewer 1011.

  FIG. 7 shows the back of the digital camera 3012, 7002 indicates a playback button for instructing playback of an image captured and recorded, 7003 indicates a liquid crystal display unit for displaying images, menus, and the like, and 7004 indicates a print menu. ing. Reference numeral 7001 denotes a finder. The designation of the print image in the digital camera 3012 is basically the same as the operation when creating the DPOF file when requesting the print shop to print the captured image.

  That is, by pressing the playback button 7002 and specifying printing of recorded images one by one or for all images, printing of these images can be instructed. However, when the printer is connected to the PD printer 1000, a print menu 7004 is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 7003, and an image is selected or a print is specified based on this menu.

  By selecting this print menu 7004, the size of paper to be printed, color or black and white print, the type of paper used for printing (plain paper, fine paper, etc.), and print with border / ant are designated. be able to. In addition to this, it is possible to designate index printing, date printing, trimming printing, layout printing, and the like as described later.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a procedure from when the digital camera 3012 is connected to the PD printer apparatus 1000 until data containing language information is received.
When processing is started in the first step S8001, next, a Get Descriptor request is issued and a Device Descriptor is received in step S8002. In step S8003, a Set Address request is issued. In step S8004, a Get Descriptor request is issued and a Configuration Descriptor is received.

  In step S8005, a Set Config request is issued to determine a configuration to be used. In step S8006, a Get Descriptor request is issued and a String Descriptor is received. This String Descriptor is obtained by using I Product of Device Descriptor as an index, and can receive data such as “Power Shot G5: JP”. In this case, the two characters “JP” after the “:” are regarded as the language setting on the camera side, and the Y key of the fixed sentence table in FIG.

  Thus, the language setting process for automatically displaying the same language on both the PD printer 1000 side and the digital camera 3012 side can be automatically performed. Accordingly, when there is a difference in the language settings of the PD printer 1000 and the digital camera 3012 when the digital camera 3012 is connected, the language setting of the PD printer 1000 is changed to the language setting of the digital camera 3012. The matching process can be performed automatically. Finally, the process ends in step S8007.

  FIG. 9 shows an overview when fixed text data that can be referred to from the X1 key (selected when the camera is connected) and the Y1 key (selected when Japanese is set) in FIG. 6 is displayed on the viewer 1011. FIG.

  FIG. 10 is an overview diagram when fixed sentence data that can be referred to from the X1 key (selected when the camera is connected) and the Y2 key (selected when English is set) in FIG. 6 is displayed on the viewer 1011. It is.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In FIG. 11, steps that perform the same processing as in the flowchart of FIG. 8 are given the same step numbers and description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 11, in the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the digital camera 3012 is disconnected in step S80061 after step S8006. When the digital camera 3012 is removed, processing for returning the language setting of the PD printer 1000 to the previous state is performed in step S80062.

  As described above, the language setting of the PD printer 1000 is restored to the original state in response to the digital camera 3012 being disconnected, so that the language is temporarily switched and then restored. No need to perform operations. In addition, for example, in a situation where an unspecified number of cameras are connected to a printer, such as a print terminal at a street corner, there is a great possibility that the camera user is a foreigner. That is, there is a possibility that the language setting varies depending on the user of the PD printer 1000.

  In such a case, it is not necessary to perform an operation of switching the language setting of the PD printer 1000 for each user, which is very convenient for a user who is unfamiliar with the terminal operation and for the terminal manager.

  In the above-described embodiment, the digital camera 3012 and the PD printer apparatus 1000 are connected via the cable 5000. However, the connection between the digital camera 3012 and the PD printer apparatus 1000 is wired. The language setting may be performed by establishing communication between the two by wireless communication.
