Abstract
A main task () pre-reads received data from a receiving buffer () before a read-out task () actually reads out the received data from the receiving buffer (). If the main task () finds out a cancel command by the pre-reading, it transmits to a print management task () an instruction for canceling a print request data heretofore transmitted to the print management task. As a result, the print is cancelled. Thus needless printing can be minimized.
