Abstract

There is provided a blank area in a partial area, when plural number images are printed in one page by a unit connected by an interface following the IEEE1394 standard. A capture command in the AV/C protocol of the IEEE1394 standard is set as follows. The quantity (data-size) of data to be transmitted, the number (image-size-x) of pixels in the X direction and the number (image-size-y) of the pixels in the Y direction are all set to be '0'. An image type (image-format-specifier) is set to sRGB row. A printer device receiving such a capture command will not print the image but will make the printing area blank and prints the next image.

That is, if the image printing system 1 is used, an operation input signal for generating a print quality and a printing speed required by a user is generated, and the printing process of the operation input signal can be performed in the printer device 5. Furthermore, according to this image printing system 1, a notch or the like is formed, and if the printing position is imprecisely specified, the printing paper cannot be printed at the correct position, but an instruction message containing the position information of the printing pass is included. The packet is transmitted from the data conversion unit 13 to the data input unit 31, and correct printing processing can be performed on the printer device 5. Furthermore, according to this image printing system 1, the position of the origin on the top left of the printing paper is designated by top (t 〇 p), and the left end of the left paper is designated by the width by using the position information of printing. 〇 · 〇mm ～ 99 · 9 mm, and the printing start position can be specified by printing position information, so it can control the minute printing start position. Here, the printing position within the printing effective range is designated by configuration setting information, for example, when the printing effective range is slightly shifted by the difference in the paper feeding method by using a hand or a cassette. Thus, depending on the use state of the printer device 5 depending on the user, the printer device 5 changes over the years, the thickness of the printing paper, the surface state of the printing paper, the size of the printing paper, etc. The accuracy of this paper changes.

When the invention was described (37), but the location information was printed by printing The print start position can be set to be small, and printing can be performed at the correct position. Further, according to such an image printing system 1, the most suitable printing can be performed on the S T B 3 side depending on the type of paper. Specifically, according to the image printing system 1, for example, when a seal is used as printing paper and printed at a lower speed than when printing on plain paper, the printing speed can be adjusted according to the type of printing paper. Furthermore, according to the image printing system 1 as described above, even if the printer device 5 is set in a state different from the user's request, the CPU 35 on the printer device 5 side uses the data input unit. 31 The command message packet displaying its intention can be controlled and sent to the data conversion unit 1 3, and can be presented to the user. In addition, in the description of the portrait printing system 1 described above, an example was described in which the STB 3 included the uncompressed still image data in the asynchronous message packet 100 and sent it to the printer device 5. However, The MP EG processing unit 16 may perform compression processing by the JPEG method, and include still image data in the asynchronous message packet 100 for transmission and reception. According to such an image printing system 1, since the amount of data to be transmitted can be reduced, higher-speed data transfer and print processing can be realized. In the description of the above-mentioned image printing system 1, the data conversion unit 13 and the data input unit 31 are provided as examples in the STB 3 and the printer device 5 according to the IEEE 1 3 9 4 interface circuit.

Description of the invention (39) (Please read the precautions on the back before completing this page ) When creating a blank area, according to the user's operation input, as shown in Figure 40, it is used to set the capture command and send it to the printer device 5. In addition, the printer device 5 for receiving the capture command thus set is to print its area as a blank according to the order, and the next area can be used for printing. For example, as shown in FIG. 4 1 As shown, the image of the image type (image_format_specifier) set by the capture command can be used to add a Null Object format type. Yes, the newly displayed Unit Plug defined as shown in Figure 41 is the source_plug of the capture instruction, which is used to specify the synchronization plug, which is accommodated when it is used to send a synchronization packet. Don ‘t care, it shows that the image type is not noticed on the sending side. S T B 3 is used to create a blank area. According to the user's operation input, the image type (image_format_specifier) of the capture instruction is used to set a Null Object and sent to the printer device 5. Further, the printer device 5 for receiving the capture command thus set has its field blanked in accordance with the setting, and printing can be continued from the next field. In addition, for example, the subfuntion of a capture instruction is used to contain blank instruction information in order to create a blank area. For example, as shown in Figure 4-2, printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, it is expressed as 0 2 in 16 digits and can be used to accommodate information called “skip”. S T B 3 is used to create a blank area. According to the user's operation input, the subfuntion of the capture command is used to hold 0.02 of 16 digits and sent to the printer device 5. The printer device 5 for receiving the capture command thus set has its field blanked according to the setting, and printing can be continued from the next field.尙 有 '为 被 -42- This paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 x 297 public love) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 569121 A7 ____________ B7 V. Description of Invention (40) Setting The information in the subfunction is other, for example, information represented by 01 with 16 digits is called "receive", and information with 0 3 by 16 digits is called "resume". And 0 4 with 16 digits is represented as information called "query". "Receive" means that the capture command is contained in the subfunction when the image data is accepted by the capture command. S T B 3 is used to send image data, and the subfunction of the capture command contains "receive", and the printer device 5 is given an image data acceptance command. The “resume” is stored in the subfunction when the information transfer path is switched using the IEEE 1394 interface, and the amount of image data that has been transmitted to the printer device 5 until now is confirmed. . In addition, "query" is to be contained in the subfunction when the parameter setting range of the operation mode 2 of the printer device 5 can be known. If the image printing system 1 according to the above is used, then one page is used to print multiple images. A blank area may be set in a part of the area. Therefore, according to the image printing system 1, the reduced image can be distributed at any position on the printing paper. In addition, when the number of assigned capture instructions is small, the blank area is formed in the area, or it is easy to determine whether there is an error.
