received from the computer, relying on column 11, lines 51-60,
and Figure 19 of Kashiwazaki.
Referring to the cited portions of Kashiwazaki, column 11,
lines 50-60, does mention “head data” and column 15, lines 4-10,
does mention a pair of print data and an emulation designation
command. CPU 22 does control the overall operation of
Kashiwazaki’s apparatus. However, the examiner’s rationale is
unclear as to how these various portions of Kashiwazaki are tied
together. Moreover, when we refer to the cited portions at
column 7, lines 34-37, and column 9, lines 37-45, we do not find
any teaching or suggestion of a determination as to whether the
data input is print data or environment setting data based on a
header code included in the header portion of the data received
from the computer, as claimed.
At column 7, it is recited that the CPU 22 determines
whether all the I/Fs 21a and 21b are set in an on-line state. It
is true that I/F 21a is interrupted when print data is output
from an external apparatus so the cited portion of column 7 may
be found to suggest that the CPU determines if the data input is
print data. At column 9, Kashiwazaki discloses that the external
apparatus sends a control command for downloading font scaler
data to the apparatus, “a code representing that the download
