Abstract
An apparatus capable of normally printing when the transmission of print data is interrupted by a user is provided. When the transmission of print data is interrupted by the user, a computer transmits an interruption command to a printer, and the printer totally clear the received data if it has determined that the interruption command is included in the received data. Otherwise, the size information of the print data is transmitted in advance, and determination of whether or not the print data can totally be received is performed by comparing the size of the received print data and the size information when the transmission of the print data ends. In the above manner, no data remains inevitably in a buffer in the printer when the process of one job ends, which enables the next printing.
