A terminalcreates setting dataand inputs setting datainto an image output apparatus. The image output apparatussets the initial settings, operation settings, equipment settings, etc. based on the setting data, holds the setting data, and performs various processes based on the set settings and the held setting data. In addition, the image output apparatusperforms a media identification process, a media reader switching process, and the like using a media detection means, a media reader switching means, and the like, and allows only the use of the insertion opening of a predetermined media reader.

Image output apparatus and image output method for printing out the photographed image which is captured by a digital camera

An image processing system including an image processing unit for processing input image data and an output unit for outputting an image processed in the image processing unit. The image processing unit has the function of cutting out a background portion of the image and effecting color specification and further has the function of specifying a method of processing the background portion. When printing the image, the output unit recognizes the background portion on the basis of the color specification and carries out background processing for the recognized background portion on the basis of the specified background processing method. It is possible to prevent visible unevenness of printing from occurring in the background portion.

Image processing system

A printing system according to the present invention includes a media terminal box which may be installed on a street. In the box, there are disposed a measuring device that measures the temperature or humidity in the box, a device such as a CPU, and a storage device. The storage device stores correction data including a correction value based on a combination of the temperature and humidity, and history data relating to the temperature and humidity measured by the measuring device. The control device corrects a color tone of image data which is read out from the storage device based on the temperature/humidity history data and the correction data so as to generate corrected image data. The corrected image data is sent to a printer, and then the printer is operated based on the corrected image data.
