Patent ID: 8384950

Claim:
A processing system comprising: a printer section executing a recording for a target using job data from a host control section; and a color measuring section executing a color measurement in accordance with an instruction from the printer section, wherein the printer section includes a first receiving section receiving first job data and an instruction of the recording from the host control section after receiving a job start notification, wherein the color measuring section includes a second receiving section receiving second job data and an instruction of the color measurement from the host control section, wherein after the host control section receives a printing end notification from the printer section, the second receiving section receives the instruction of the color measurement from the host control section, wherein after the second receiving section transmits processing result data of the performing color measurement to the host control section, the first receiving section receives a job end notification from the host control section, wherein during a period from the job start notification till the job end notification, the printer section inhibits an interrupt from another host control section different from the host control section, which transmits the instruction of the performing color measurement, and relays communication between the host control section and the color measuring section such that a communication connection with the host control section is maintained, and wherein the host control section performs a decision using color measurement data sent from the printer section, transmits third job data to the printer section in order to record the decision result, after receiving color measurement data, transmits the third job data to the printer section again, and performs the job end notification.
