Patent ID: 7719707

Claim:
A printing system comprising: a printing apparatus; and an image capturing apparatus communicably connected to said printing apparatus, wherein said printing apparatus prints image data that is transmitted by said image capturing apparatus to said printing apparatus, wherein said printing apparatus comprises a notification unit configured to notify said image capturing apparatus of information regarding the number of vertical and horizontal pixels calculated based on a printing condition for printing image data that is transmitted by said image capturing apparatus and rotation instruction information, which is decided based on the printing condition, indicating whether or not said image capturing apparatus should execute a process of rotating the image data to be transmitted to said printing apparatus, and wherein said image capturing apparatus comprises: a reception unit configured to receive the information regarding the number of vertical and horizontal pixels and the rotation instruction information of which said image capturing apparatus is notified by said notification unit of said printing apparatus; a processing unit configured to execute a reducing process and a rotation process on the image data to be transmitted to said printing apparatus, wherein said processing unit executes the reducing process if the number of vertical and horizontal pixels of the image data to be transmitted to said printing apparatus is larger than the number of vertical and horizontal pixels received by said reception unit, and said processing unit executes the rotation process based on the rotation instruction information received by said reception unit; and a transmission unit configured to transmit the image data processed by said processing unit to said printing apparatus, wherein said processing unit is configured to execute the reducing process before the rotation process.
