A driver program is provided for causing a host apparatus to execute a
processing of generating color-converted image data and transferring it
to a printing apparatus, this program making it possible to decrease the
volume of image data to be stored in the host apparatus and to conduct
data transfer without delaying the printing completion. A driver program
causes a host apparatus to execute a processing of generating image data
comprising data of a plurality of colors and transferring it to a
printing apparatus. When the transfer of the image data of one plane is
conducted, the driver program causes the host apparatus to execute a
transfer processing conducted by intermingling a step of transferring by
each band of the bands obtained by dividing the image data of one plane
at the prescribed height, and a step of transferring by each color of the
plurality of colors.
