Abstract: When a job that is set so as to execute binding processing at a first binding position is being executed and this job is then interrupted, a request for changing a position of the binding processing from the first binding position to a second binding position is accepted in a state where the job is interrupted. It is determined whether or not an orientation of a print target image is to be changed in order to change the position of the binding processing from the first binding position to the second binding position in accordance with the accepted request. In a case where it is determined that the orientation of the print target image is to be changed, control is performed so as not to execute the binding processing.

Abstract: When a print job described in JL (job language) is transferred from a host device via a communication medium, JL is interpreted by a JL parser, encapsulated PDL (page description language) is interpreted by a PDL translator, and image data to be printed is produced, and printed in a printer engine. When printing is completed, information on the paper output place is stored in a job information table. When an inquiry in JL is made from the host, on the basis of this, the job information table is retrieved, and answer data on the corresponding paper output place is returned to the host device, and informed to a user via display processing on the host device or the like.

Abstract: A columnar spacer is interposed between a first substrate and a second substrate for holding a liquid crystal layer between them. The columnar spacer is formed in such a manner as to have an area superposed, in each pixel, with the contact hole formed in the first substrate and an area not superposed with said contact hole. Even in the case where the first and second substrates attached to each other are displaced from each other, the columnar spacer never falls in the contact hole and a desired cell gap can be positively secured. Also, since the columnar spacer is not located in the contact hole, no margin for substrate attachment is required to form the contact hole in the first substrate, thereby improving the open area ratio effective for display for improved display quality.
