A print terminal includes a memory reader for reading image data recorded in a recording medium, an image-capturing unit for capturing the image data read by the memory reader, and an image-processing unit for processing the image data captured by the image-capturing unit. The image-processing unit has a first rotation-processing function for rotating a print image to be used in printing the image data, a second rotation-processing function for rotating a print-medium image to change the orientation of a print medium to be used in printing the image data, and a third rotation function for simultaneously rotating both the print image and the print-medium image.

Print terminal, print system, storage medium, and program

A printing system, a printing method and a recording medium are capable of conducting printing efficiently. Regarding the first printing means for printing images per one print in the first size and discharging these images, and the second printing means for printing images per multiple copies in the first size and discharging these images, the number of prints to be allocated to the first and second printing means is determined so that printing is finished in a minimum amount of time corresponding to the total number of prints of the first size to be printed. And, based on the determination result, the first and the second printing means are controlled.
