Abstract:
1. A transmitter for transmitting print data to a receiver, which is connected to a printer, via a computer network, the transmitter comprising: a memory that stores the print data; a transmission unit that executes transmission of the print data; an input device; a display device; and a controller that controls operation of the transmitter, wherein the controller causes the transmission unit to send an instruction for starting a transmission process of the print data to the receiver when receiving the instruction for starting the transmission process via the input device, the controller causes the display device to display a user interface for allowing a user to input print settings information for the printer based on user interface data when receiving the user interface data transmitted from the receiver via the transmission unit, and the controller reads the print data from the memory and causes the transmission unit to send the print data and the print settings information, which is to be used in a printing process by the printer, to the receiver when receiving the print settings information and a transmission instruction of the print data via the input device, the transmitter further comprising: a color image device, wherein the memory stores color image data, which is expressible in a first gamut reproducible by the color image device in a color space, and color-correction data, which is to be used for converting the color image data expressible in the first gamut into another color image data expressible in a second gamut in the color space, and the controller reads the color-correction data and the color image data expressible in the first gamut from the memory and causes the transmission unit to send the color image data expressible in the first gamut as print data together with the first color-correction data to the receiver.
