More Information
Summary:A printing system including network terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5 and a printing apparatus 1, the network terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5 requesting the printing apparatus 1, via a network 6, to print data to be printed, and the printing apparatus 1 receiving the data to be printed from the network terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5 and printing the data to be printed. The network terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5 include interface processing units 207, 306, 408 and 507 respectively that transmit the data to be printed to the printing apparatus 1 via the network 6. The data to be printed includes at least one of image data and text data. The printing apparatus 1 includes: an interface processing unit 101 that receives data to be printed from each of the network terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5; a print processing unit 105 that extracts one of, or both, the image data and the text data from the received data to be printed, and generates print data that corresponds to the extracted data; and a printer engine 108 that performs printing of the generated print data.
