A print server comprises: storage unit configured to store the print job of the intermediate format received from an information processing apparatus; setting change receiving unit configured to receive, from a printing apparatus, a print setting information change instruction for the print job of the intermediate format stored in the storage unit; update unit configured to update print setting information of the print job in accordance with the print setting information change instruction; print request receiving unit configured to receive a print request from the printing apparatus; and job transmission unit configured to generate a print job of a format printable by the printing apparatus based on the print job of the intermediate format and the print setting information updated in accordance with the print request, and to transmit the generated print job to the printing apparatus.

A printing control apparatus is provided which can produce an appropriate copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image by adding a monochrome copy-forgery-inhibited pattern even if monochrome mode printing is performed in the condition in which a color copy-forgery-inhibited pattern is set. When the monochrome mode printing is performed in the condition in which the color copy-forgery-inhibited pattern is set, and if the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern color is output with its color unchanged, the color is not converted into 100% black. Considering this, when a forced monochrome mode is selected, even if the user's setting for the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern is color, the color is changed to monochrome (black) before output. If the designated copy-forgery-inhibited pattern setting is for color, the designated copy-forgery-inhibited pattern setting is changed to the monochrome copy-forgery-inhibited pattern setting so that the printing processing is performed in the monochrome mode using the designated copy-forgery-inhibited pattern setting.

An image processing apparatus includes a decision unit configured to determine whether or not print image data includes copy-forgery-inhibited-pattern image data. Based on a decision result of the decision unit regarding whether or not the print image data includes the copy-forgery-inhibited-pattern image data, a processing unit of the image processing apparatus is configured to determine whether first compression processing is to be performed or second compression processing is to be performed and apply the decided compression processing to the print image data.
摘要:
An information processing apparatus generates printing image data of a printing image and copy-forgery-inhibited-pattern-image data of a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image to be added to the printing image. The copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image includes a latent image and a background image. The apparatus includes a selecting unit and a printing-data generating unit. The selecting unit selects either the transparent-printing designation or overlay-printing designation, the transparent-printing designation is used for generating printing data so that the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image is superimposed on the printing image, and the overlay-printing designation is used for generating printing data so that the printing image is superimposed on the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image. The printing-data generating unit generates printing data based on the printing designation selected by the selecting unit.

The invention enables people to easily identify a printout image even in the case where the printout image is printed with a tint block image added thereon. More specifically, a physical page that is a printable area of printing paper is divided into areas, an intended document/image is printed in each of these divided areas (logical pages), and a tint block image is printed only in an area that is in this physical page but does not belong to any of the logical pages. Using a fact that a margin is produced in the so-called N-up printing, the tint block image is printed in this margin. Thereby, the tint block image can be printed in a location that will not interfere with whatever printout image to be printed.

A field effect transistor (FET)is turned ON with supply of a power Vcc to a sensor started, and a signal indicating a result of detection is inputted from the sensor to a GPI terminal of a microcomputer control unit (MCU). After supply of the power Vcc to the sensor is started, the MCU enters the sleep state, and the state is maintained until a normal detection result is outputted from the sensor. When the sensor starts outputting a normal detection result, the MCU returned from the sleep state upon an interruption by a timer, and sampling is made for an output from the sensor. When sampling is performed, supply of the power Vcc to the sensor is stopped with the CMU set in the sleep state. The present invention can be applied to a portable type of information processing apparatus such as a mobile telephone and a PDA.
摘要:
A print control apparatus that can improve the performance and quality of a printer driver and a Win32 application and can improve usability for users. A Win32 application that operates on the print control apparatus handles print settings as a print ticket in XML format, and a printer driver that operates on the apparatus manages print settings as a DEVMODE structure in binary format. A conversion process between the print ticket and the DEVMODE structure is carried out in a submodule. The submodule constructs a public portion of the DEVMODE structure based on the print ticket and incorporates the print ticket into a free space in a private portion of the DEVMODE structure. Further, the submodule extracts the print ticket incorporated in the DEVMODE private portion.

In order to allow any device to use a graphics device interface (GDI) driver without having to modify it once the GDI driver has been developed, the GDI driver is configured to create a spool format in a next-generation print path (NGPP) graphics engine specification and to convert drawing data in the spool format in the NGPP graphics engine specification into a page description language (PDL) by using an NGPP driver.
