PRINT MEDIUM PROCESSING SYSTEM, PRINTING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
First Claim
1. A print medium processing system, comprising:
- an identification information generating unit that receives input method information, the input method information being referred to when image data is inputted to an application which processes the image data, and generates identification information for the received input method information;
an information memory that stores the generated identification information in a manner associated with the input method information;
a printing unit that adds the identification information of the input method information to image data to be printed, and prints the image data;
a reading unit that reads image data printed in a print medium by the printing unit;
an extracting unit that extracts the identification information from the image data read by the reading unit;
an obtaining unit that obtains the input method information specified by the identification information extracted by the extracting unit from the information memory; and
a transferring unit that transfers the image data read by the reading unit to an application specified from the input method information obtained by the obtaining unit.
