    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: According to the present invention, a user can properly acquire a desired print product with a few procedures in front of an output device. An information processing apparatus includes a print job output unit configured to output a print job, wherein, if the print job output unit receives a request for pull printing from an output device related apparatus for a first time, the print job output unit compares a capacity of an output target device with a print setting, selects a print job including a print setting matching with the capacity of the output target device from stored print jobs, and outputs the selected print job, and if the print job output unit receives a request for pull printing from the output device related apparatus consecutively, the print job output unit outputs the stored print jobs.

    Abstract: 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.
