Abstract
When document data cannot be printed and when it is necessary to convert a data format of the document data, a digital multi-function apparatusrequests a conversion of the data format to a data conversion apparatus. The data conversion apparatusreturns the document data after the data format was converted and data format information showing the data format before the conversion to the digital multi-function apparatus. The digital multi-function apparatusexecutes a print processing when the data format identified by the received data format information is a data format of an application which can be printed by itself. If NO, the apparatusdoes not execute the print processing.
