Abstract
An interface system transmits printing data from a computer to a stencil printer and transmits status information on the stencil printer to the computer. A previously-transmitted status information memory stores status information on the stencil printer which has been previously transmitted to the computer. Status difference information which represents difference of the updated status information, as transmitted from the stencil printer, from the previously status information stored in the memory is generated and transmitted to the computer on request from the computer.
