To provide a technique advantageous for transferring data in a device having various functions.SOLUTION: A method for transmitting printing data by a serial transmission method in a printer includes: a step of generating a first data part having a fixed data length; a step of generating a second data part having a variable data length; and a step of transmitting the printing data in combination of the first data part and the second data part in a predetermined order. The first data part includes a plurality of information parts, the second data part can include a plurality of accompanying information parts, and one of the plurality of information parts included in the first data part indicates presence/absence of each of the plurality of accompanying information parts in the second data part and presence/absence of driving a circuit element included in the printer.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】多様な機能を備える装置においてデータを転送するのに有利な技術を提供する。【解決手段】印刷装置においてシリアル伝送方式で印刷データを送信する方法であって、データ長が固定された第１データ部を生成する工程と、データ長が可変の第２データ部を生成する工程と、前記第１データ部と前記第２データ部とを所定の順序で組み合わせて前記印刷データを送信する工程と、を含み、前記第１データ部は複数の情報部を含み、前記第２データ部は複数の付帯情報部を含むことが可能であり、前記第１データ部に含まれる前記複数の情報部の１つは、前記第２データ部における前記複数の付帯情報部の個々の有無や、前記印刷装置に含まれる回路素子の駆動の有無を示す。【選択図】図５
