Abstract:
An information processing apparatus that is connectable to a printing apparatus in a way that allows a bidirectional communication, said information processing apparatus comprising:determining means for, when a request for printing in a print mode is made, determining whether or not the print mode of the request is a print mode in which print data is changed into binary data; and printing control means for, when said determining means determines that the print mode is the mode in which print data is changed into binary data, requesting the printing apparatus to send calibration information, in order to obtain the calibration information from the printing apparatus, generating a print job in which print data is corrected based on the obtained calibration information, and transferring the print job to the printing apparatus, and, when said determining means determines that the print mode is not the mode in which print data is changed into binary data, generating a print job in which print data is in a PDL format, and transferring the print job to the printing apparatus.
