摘要:
A host device successively sends print data constituting a plurality of sets of copies of a document to be printed to a printer capable of printing on both sides of printing paper. If each set of copies to be printed consists of an odd number of pages, a blank page is inserted as the reverse side of the last page to make the total number of pages of the set of copies an even number. The print data thus created is sent to the printer as a single job. This makes it possible to prevent the last page of one set of copies and the first page of another set of copies from being printed on the same sheet of paper, thereby allowing each set of copies to be printed as a discrete set independent of other sets. Print job management is performed on the basis of a single print job.

There is provided, even in case plural sheet sizes or plural sheet orientations are mixed within a document, a system capable of obtaining an output result close to that of a document not containing such mixed sheet sizes or sheet orientations without causing sheet discharge in the course of printing operation or data overflow from the print area, also providing an enlarging/reducing function to a device lacking such function, and providing a visually agreeable output result, all realized without modification in the conventional printer driver. A host computer 3000 is provided with a spool file manager 304 for calculating the relative position of the logic page to the physical page, and a despooler 305 for processing the layout data, obtained by enlarging or reducing the logic page, to a data format matching the graphic engine.

An information processing apparatus for making a bookbinding setup for a document includes a cover page determination unit for determining pages to be imposed on a cover from input data of a plurality of pages, a cover imposing processing unit for executing an imposing process of cover pages on the basis of data of the pages determined by the cover page determination unit, and a bookbinding imposing processing unit for executing an imposing process of running text pages on the basis of data of the remaining pages which are not imposed on the cover pages by the cover imposing processing unit, thus allowing an information process for making a bookbinding setup that the user wants.
摘要:
Upon designating bookbinding print, preview images are displayed in a layout after bookbinding. When "store" of intermediate data is designated in a print process, a spooler (302) stores intermediate data and an output job setup file in a spool file (303). When the stored job is selected, a previewer (306) displays a list of jobs, and displays a print preview image. In this case, upon setting bookbinding print, pages are displayed in a spread state and order after bookbinding. Also, the open direction (right or left open), and the bookbinding unit are also expressed on preview images.

摘要:
Provided are a print layout device, a print layout method and a storage medium therefor with which all data can always be printed by ensuring that data to be printed do not extend out beyond the limits of a printable area, as may occur when the conventional margin setting process is used, with which a margin can be set by employing an additional special print method, such as an N-up print method, and with which a binding margin can be set for bookbinding. In addition, provided is a configuration for implementing those apparatuses and devices without modifying the conventional portions. A host computer comprises a despooler, which calculates a printable area using margin parameters set by a user, enlarges/reduces print data in consonance with the obtained printable area, performs a layout for the resultant data to be printed and margins on a sheet, and prints the data using that layout. The despooler outputs prepared drawing data to a graphic engine to provide a printer driver in a conventional manner.
摘要:
When an original image is to be printed as a poster composed of an array of 4 × 4 output images, an image is generated by enlarging the original image fourfold in the vertical and horizontal directions and dividing the enlarged image into 16 parts. These 16 partial images are output successively starting from the upper left or lower right of the 4 × 4 array, depending upon the designation. If there is a blank page, the blank page is output as is even if the printer possesses a blank-paper economizing function. Thus, when a poster printing function is used, the user designates the manner in which the enlarged image is divided up and the order in which the divided images are printed. Even if the printer is equipped with the blank-paper economizing function, normal printed results can be obtained merely by joining the output sheets together in the order that conforms to the manner in which the enlarged image was divided.

A print control apparatus for processing print information, which is connected to a printer, selects (301) the optimal print mode for a set condition. The apparatus controls a printer driver (203) to generate print data in the selected print mode in accordance with a print instruction generated by a graphics engine (202), thereby increasing the print throughput of the printer (1500) and allowing proper printing.
