Abstract
Upon reception of form data and related attribute data (such as resolution, paper size or the like), which are transmitted from a host computer, the received form data is transformed into intermediate data and is registered with its attribute information, in a memory of a printer apparatus. When the host computer instructs a form overlay print operation using the registered form data, a check is made as to whether the resolution or paper size (for example) of the received print data matches that of the form data designated for use in the form overlay print operation. If the two resolutions or paper sizes or the like do not match, the resolution or paper size or the like of the registered form data is converted to correspond to that of the received print data, and image data of the converted form data is synthesized with the print data, thus performing the print operation.
