ABSTRACT:
A printer system includes a printer controller and a printer connected to each other by a cable according to IEEE Standard 1394. The printer controller and the printer each accepts data transmitted thereto when device identification data assigned thereto agrees with transmission destination identifying data accompanying the transmitted data. The printer controller and the printer are assigned identical device identification data. The printer controller and printer decide a first transmission-permitted time period in which the printer controller transmits data to the printer and a second transmission-permitted time period in which the printer transmits data to the printer controller. The first and second transmission-permitted time periods are separated from each other. The printer controller transmits image data accompanied by the transmission destination identifying data to the printer in packet units in the first transmission-permitted time period. The printer transmits data accompanied by the transmission destination identifying data to the printer controller in the second transmission-permitted time period.
