  • Publication number: 20100110482
    Abstract: A printing apparatus receives a print job from an information processing apparatus. It is determined whether the received print job is a first print job or a second print job. If the results of the determination indicate that the received print job is a first print job, printing onto a printing medium is executed based on the first print job. However, if the received print job is a second print job, the second print job is stored in a storage medium. Then, if a printing instruction for printing the second print job containing printing settings and stored in the storage medium has been made, printing based on the second print job is executed onto a printing medium onto which printing based on the first print job has already been executed, and a process for adding a processing agent to that printing medium is then executed.

  • Patent number: 7665018
    Abstract: In an information processing apparatus for dynamically changing a container layout in accordance with inserted contents data, a user is made to understand a change of layout by explicitly displaying a change before and after the layout change, thereby improving the convenience for the user in layout correction. More specifically, when the container layout is changed by inserted contents data, a container having a standard size before the layout change is explicitly displayed.

  • Publication number: 20090257087
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus configured to generate a print job to execute bookbinding printing is provided. The information processing apparatus includes an identifying unit configured to identify a position of a pre-printed sheet where a page to be arranged on a background image of the pre-printed sheet is printed at the time of execution of the bookbinding printing, a selecting unit configured to select the pre-printed sheet to be used in the bookbinding printing from a plurality of different pre-printed sheets set in the printer so that data indicating content of the page to be arranged on the background image of the pre-printed sheet is printed at the position identified by the identifying unit, and a generating unit configured to generate the print job so that the printer prints the data using the pre-printed sheet selected by the selecting unit.

  • Publication number: 20090116057
    Abstract: A user efficiently prints a book as desired during the generation of a job. When a form is assigned a flag indicating a last page of the book, a page containing the form assigned the flag is set as the last page of the book and is added to a number of pages that have already been drawn to calculate the total number of pages, and the number of blank pages necessary to place the page containing the form assigned the flag on the last page of the book is determined.

  • Publication number: 20080309979
    Abstract: When a printer starts a printing operation using a rolled sheet having IC chips, it is determined whether an error occurred while an IC chip writing device writes information to the IC chips. First page information specifying a page region in which an error occurred and second page information specifying a page region which has been subjected to the printing operation using the printer at a time of occurrence of the error are transmitted to a host computer. Then, recovery information generated using the host computer is obtained, and a print restarting position of a recording medium is controlled so that an information writing position at the time of occurrence of the error corresponds to a position in which the printing operation is restarted. Thereafter, the printing operation is restarted from the printing restarting position in accordance with the recovery information.

  • Publication number: 20070297004
    Abstract: When generating an output result by using content data and form data of various types, the form data of the same number of types as that of the content data should be prepared and form data adaptable to the current target content data should be selected for every output result. Therefore, an appropriate data field is selected according to the content data, so as to generate an output result desired by a user and decrease a processing load placed on a person who creates the form data.

  • Patent number: 7272784
    Abstract: A form processing method edits at least one target field in a form. The form processing method determines the type of the form, determines whether an editing instruction is given to edit the target field interdependently with a related field relating to the target field, if the type of the form is a predetermined type of form, and edits the target field interdependently with the related field, if it is determined that the editing instruction is given to edit the target field interdependently with the related field.
