Abstract:
A data input/output method of inputting/outputting data using a data input/output apparatus having a first storage unit which can input data directly from a data input unit and can output data directly to a data output unit and a second storage unit which stores data stored in the first storage unit, comprising:a first data storing step of storing data inputted from the data input unit in the first storage unit; a second data storing step of storing the data stored in said first data storing step in the second storage unit; a data discriminating step of discriminating whether the data inputted into the first storage unit is to be recorded on a reverse side of a recording medium including data which was previously outputted from the first storage unit to the data output unit; and a control step of controlling the data inputted into the first storage unit not to be stored in the second storage unit if it is determined in said data discriminating step that the data is to be recorded on the reverse side of the recording medium including the previously outputted data.
