Abstract
The printer driver, a program to be executed by the host, upon receiving a print request, requests the printer to send the calibration information, stores the calibration information transferred from the printer and generates a correction table based on the calibration information stored. By referring the correction table the printer driver corrects the print data to generate a print job of binary data and sends the print job to the printer. In a configuration in which the host corrects the print data and sends the corrected print data to the printer, efficient and precise calibration can be carried out without the user taking much time and trouble.
