Abstract

The present invention provides a printer comprising an image data reception device which receives print image data and print condition image data including an image of a print condition code corresponding to a print condition when the print image data is printed, a print condition setting device which sets the print condition by analyzing the print condition image data and a print device which prints the print image data based on the print condition set by the print condition setting device, so that the functions of a printer can be fully utilized without restrictions on the model, etc. of a shooting device.

Claims (36)

1 . A printer, comprising:

an image data reception device which receives print image data and print condition image data including an image of a print condition code corresponding to a print condition when the print image data is printed;

a print condition setting device which sets the print condition by analyzing the print condition image data; and

a print device which prints the print image data according to the print condition set by the print condition setting device.

2 . The printer according to claim 1 , wherein

the print device prints a print condition code table describing:

a print condition of the print image data; and

a print condition code corresponding to the print condition.

3 . The printer according to claim 1 , wherein

the print condition image data is at least one of a one-dimensional bar code, a two-dimensional bar code, a character, a picture, and a mark which can be analyzed by the print condition setting device.

4 . The printer according to claim 2 , wherein

the print condition image data is at least one of a one-dimensional bar code, a two-dimensional bar code, a character, a picture, and a mark which can be analyzed by the print condition setting device.

5 . The printer according to claim 1 , wherein

the print condition is at least one of a type of print service, a print size, a type of template applied to the print image data, a rotation direction, a type of printing paper, a number of printed copies, and coordinates indicating a trimming position.

6 . The printer according to claim 2 , wherein

the print condition is at least one of a type of print service, a print size, a type of template applied to the print image data, a rotation direction, a type of printing paper, a number of printed copies, and coordinates indicating a trimming position.

7 . The printer according to claim 3 , wherein

the print condition is at least one of a type of print service, a print size, a type of template applied to the print image data, a rotation direction, a type of printing paper, a number of printed copies, and coordinates indicating a trimming position.

8 . The printer according to claim 4 , wherein

the print condition is at least one of a type of print service, a print size, a type of template applied to the print image data, a rotation direction, a type of printing paper, a number of printed copies, and coordinates indicating a trimming position.

9 . A print system, comprising:

a shooting device which shoots an image;

a printer which prints print image data shot by the shooting device; and

a print condition code table on which a print condition of the print image data and a print condition code corresponding to the print condition are printed, wherein:

the shooting device comprises:

a print condition image data generation device which generates print condition image data including an image of a print condition code when the print condition code printed on the print condition code table is shot; and

a transmission device which transmits the print condition image data to the printer; and

the printer comprises:

an image data reception device which receives the print image data and the print condition image data;

a print condition setting device which sets the print condition by analyzing the print condition image data; and

a print device which prints the print image data according to the print condition set by the print condition setting device.

10 . A print condition setting program used to direct a computer in a printer to realize the functions of:

receiving print image data;

receiving print condition image data including an image of a print condition code corresponding to a print condition when the print image data is printed;

setting the print condition by analyzing the print condition image data; and

printing the print image data according to the set print condition.
