Description

本発明は、印刷装置、印刷装置の制御方法、及び、プログラムに関する。 The present invention, printing apparatus, a control method of the printing apparatus, and a program.

特許文献１に記載された装置ではテキストとイメージの印刷色が限られていた。このため、複数のテキストやイメージを異なる色に色分けして印刷するなど、より多彩な色を与えて印刷できるようにする手法が望まれていた。
本発明は、上述した事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、単色や少数の色で印刷を行うためのデータをもとに、多彩な印刷を可能とする印刷装置、印刷装置の制御方法、及び、プログラムを提供することを目的とする。 In the apparatus described in Patent Document 1, the print colors of text and images are limited. For this reason, there has been a demand for a technique that enables printing by giving a variety of colors, such as printing a plurality of texts and images with different colors.
The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances described above, based on the data to be printed with a single color or a small number of colors, printing device you allow versatile printing method of controlling a printing apparatus And to provide a program.

Claims

A printing device capable of communicating with a control device,
A communication unit for receiving print data from the control device;
