ABSTRACT:
In an image printing apparatus according to this invention, if a block management unit detects that reception of a data frame transferred from a host computer has been delayed during image printing using data frames of divided image data transferred from the host computer, a printing head is moved to the home position at a speed including a speed higher than the image printing speed at the end of image printing using a data frame stored in the block of a RAM. The printing head stands by, and upon the completion of receiving the delayed data frame, is moved from the home position to the position where image printing is interrupted at a speed including a speed higher than the image printing speed. Even if reception of a data frame has been delayed during image printing, the prolongation of the image printing time can be minimized.
