Abstract: In this invention, a combined job obtained by combining a plurality of jobs is authenticated as a single job. According to the arrangement of this invention, when print jobs are to be spooled, these jobs are transferred from a dispatcher to a spooler where the jobs are combined. Upon reception of a print instruction, the print job is read out from a spool file, transferred from a despooler to a graphic engine again, and transferred from the dispatcher to a printer driver. At this time, the printer driver issues an authentication request in printing to a job accounting client. Thus, only one authentication request suffices for one combined job.

Abstract: The invention provides a print control apparatus, a print control method, and a print control program, in which in the case of Z-folding a sheet which has been print-outputted by using an N-up function for allocating a plurality of logic pages onto one sheet, it is possible to make layout adjustment such that the logic pages printed onto the output sheet in the Z-folding state can be easily confirmed, and also provides a memory medium in which such a program has been stored. For this purpose, layout designation to designate a mode to print the plurality of logic pages onto one of print surfaces of the sheet which is outputted by a printing apparatus is made. Further, when the sheet is Z-folded, the layout of the plurality of logic pages is adjusted so that the whole area of at least one logic page is displayed onto an exposing surface of the Z-folded sheet.

Abstract: There are provided a printing control apparatus and printing system which can accurately print index information on the tab portion of a tab sheet without any print offset. A position where index information (Section 1-Section 5) is to be printed on each tab portion of a tab sheet set (300) (constituted by, e.g., five sheets) is set first. Index information is then printed in advance on a test printing sheet (310) (opaque sheet), together with boundary lines (L1-L3) indicating a print area, on the basis of the setting value. When a print offset amount in the horizontal direction is to be measured, a boundary line (L2) of the test printing sheet (310) is superimposed on the right end (iii) of an index area of the tab sheet set (300), and the distance (print offset amount) between an extension line (ii) of the boundary line (L2) and the left end (i) of the index area is measured.

Abstract: In document output including mixture of different sizes, regarding a paper (A4 size) which is not Z-folded, header/footor information is printed on the paper as a designated manner, and, regarding a paper (A3 size) which is to be Z-folded, the header/footor information is combined with document data in such a manner that the position of the header/footor information after Z-folding apparently becomes the same as the position of the information on the A4 size. For example, in an opened condition, two header/footor information are printed at two positions, and positions of two header/footor informations are adjusted so that an information component (99/1) printed on an area A and an information component (2/31) printed on an area D constitute one header information as “99/12/31”. As a result, the header/footor information can be recognized at a glance without opening the folded page, apparently similar to the non-Z-fold paper.

Abstract: This invention relates to a print control apparatus having a function of acquiring detailed accounting data for a print job divided into a plurality of blocks. A printer driver generates print data such as a PDL interpretable by a printer on the basis of command data transferred from a GDI. The number of sheets per block is counted for the generated data in accordance with not only the number of sheets to be printed but also many settings such as the number of pages laid out on one sheet, paper size, color information, and double-side printing.

Abstract: The present invention provides a data output system which can transmit data from the nearest server within a short time at a point of time whereat a user has been driven by the necessity of outputting the data. For this purpose, in this system, the user's location is pursued, and the data is moved to an information accumulating apparatus corresponding to location information indicative of the user's location, and in accordance with the instructions from the user for the outputting of the data, the relevant data is transmitted from an information accumulating apparatus storing the relevant data therein to an output apparatus.
