7. A data processing method comprising the steps of:
changing a print mode;
storing a print job received from another apparatus within a memory; and
controlling a print process in accordance with the print mode for printing an image of the print job received from the other apparatus,
wherein said controlling step performs the print process by storing the print job received from the other apparatus in the print queue device when performing the print process under a first printing mode, and performs the print process without storing the print job received from the other apparatus in the print queue when performing the print process under a second print mode, and
wherein said controlling step encodes the image of the print job and transmits the encoded image to a printer, at the print process under the second print mode.
