Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: image processing means for generating desired still image data corresponding to input image data; printing control information generating means for generating printing control information for controlling a printing device; and outputting means for having the still image data generated by said image processing means included in a packet pursuant to the IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) 1394 standard for outputting to a printing device, said outputting means defining the printing control information generated by said printing control information generating means by an AV/C command set consistent with an FCP (function control protocol) pursuant to the IEEE 1394 standard for outputting to said printing device; said outputting means outputting, over an IEEE 1394 bus, said printing control information and subsequently outputting said still image data to said printing device; and means for printing still image data, wherein said printing control information is generated for said still image data and contains one or more of printing sheet type information, printing sheet size information, printing color information, printing quality information, or the printing layout information, wherein said printing control information adjusts printing speed based on said printing sheet type information, and wherein said packet is outputted at regular intervals and said packet includes a capture command which indicates that said still image data is being transmitted.
