Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus and a sheet of paper control program, which effectively uses a roll sheet of paper including one replaced and stored while it has a remaining sheet length. SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus includes: a sheet information storage 65 for storing a distinguishing name and a remaining sheet length of a roll sheet of paper used for an image forming processing, when the processing is finished; a job analyzer 62 for analyzing a print job and specifying the sheet length and the number of pages to form an image, based on the print job; a sheet length calculator 63 for calculating a sheet length needed for the image forming processing according to the print job, based on the sheet length and the number of the pages, specified by the job analyzer 62; and a sheet selector 67 for selecting a roll sheet of paper to be used for the image forming processing according to the print job, based the sheet length calculated by the sheet length calculator 63 and the remaining sheet length stored in the sheet information storage 65.

Abstract:
An image processing method in which a RIP process is performed on original image data to obtain raster data with a first resolution, and a smoothing process is performed through oversampling the obtained raster data to generate output image data with a second resolution which is smaller than the first resolution. The method is performed for recording an image on a recording medium by an inkjet recording device that performs the recording by discharging an ink drop on the recording medium from an inkjet head based on the output image data. Here, the first resolution in the RIP process for performing the smoothing process on the raster data is determined according to information that indicates the number of gradations corresponding to the number of ink drops selected in advance and the second resolution.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems such as the confusion of operators and leakage of personal information when a plurality of persons handle slips by preparing slip output data for preparing a slip in which a visible area is changed according to the operator by using the paper sheet even after it is printed and output to the paper sheet. SOLUTION: A slip application of a web application server determines, in response to a slip output instruction and on the basis of a mapping table of roles and visualization forms, component forms to be visualized and output according to the specified role information of a user (S1605), prepares embedding data including data in which the mapping table of the roles and the visualization forms is encoded to a dot pattern (S1608), and prepares the slip output data in which the embedding data prepared in S1608 are embedded in a form in which the component forms to be visualized and output determined in S1605 are combined (S1609, S1610).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a load on a user caused by a printing instruction of tab paper and provide a printing setting screen, based on the tab region information on a tab area of the tab paper. SOLUTION: In an image forming device 10, an image reading unit reads the tab paper, detects the tab region from the read tab paper, and transmits tab region information related to the tab region to a PC 20. The PC 20 acquires the tab region information from the image forming device 10, displays a printing setting screen including a preview screen of the tab paper on a display unit, and displays, on the tab region of the screen, characters to be printed in the tab region inputted from an input unit. The PC 20 generates printing data for printing the character to be printed in the tab region on the basis of the inputted characters to transmit the data to the image forming device 10. The image forming device 10 receives the data from the PC 20 and performs printing on the basis of the data. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printing device capable of appropriately setting a plurality of printing setting items. SOLUTION: A CPU of a printing device selects one of a plurality of setting permission information (step S1704) based on sheet property information when printing by using a specific sheet. The CPU of a printing device performs a setting regarding each of a plurality of printing setting items so as to obtain a setting permitted in the selected setting permission information when printing by using a specific sheet.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printing device and printing method which can perform tasks including the printing on a label face when data is backed up to a nonvolatile storage medium. SOLUTION: The printing device is equipped with a storage means 11 for storing data in the nonvolatile storage medium, a printing means 8 for printing an image on the printable label face of the nonvolatile storage medium, a judgement means for judging whether the printing on the label face of the nonvolatile storage medium is possible or not based on a predetermined condition, a mode selection means for selecting a back-up printing mode and a control means for making the data to be backed up stored in the nonvolatile storage medium by controlling the storage means if the back-up printing mode is selected, for judging whether the printing on the label face of the nonvolatile storage medium concerned is possible or not by controlling the judgement means, for making the image based on the data to be backed up printed on the label face of the nonvolatile storage medium concerned by controlling the printing means in case the printing is judged possible and for making the image not printed in case the printing is judged impossible.
