Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a method of sending print data, including: generating a first data part with a fixed data length; generating a second data part with a variable data length; and combining the first and second data parts in a predetermined order and sending the resulting print data. The first data part includes multiple information pieces. The second data part is capable of including multiple additional information pieces. A first information piece included in the first data part indicates presence or absence of each additional information piece in the second data part. The second information piece includes multiple pieces of synthesized data. In the sending, the multiple pieces of synthesized data are each subjected to bit division, and portions of the pieces of synthesized data subjected to the bit division which have a smaller bit length are continuously arranged in a single packet.
