  • Publication number: 20200225890
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable recoding medium for an information processing apparatus stores instructions realizing a computer program. The program is installed in the information processing apparatus using printer model information coinciding with connected printer information indicating a model of the printer and sheet type information indicating the sheet selected by a user. The program causes, when executed by the controller, the information processing apparatus to determine, from among a plurality of pieces of display information, one piece of the plurality of pieces of display information which is associated with the printer model information and the sheet type information used to install the program as determined display information to be displayed, obtain image data, generate print data based on the obtained image data, output the generated print data and output the determined display information.

  • Patent number: 9979846
    Abstract: There is provided a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for a computer of an information processing apparatus, the program causing the computer of the information processing apparatus to carry out: acquiring an image data as a print object; generating a print data, which is an image data for printing, after determining whether or not to change a direction of the acquired image data based on a double-side print setting, and changing the direction of the image data in a case in which the image data is determined to change the direction; generating a preview data, which is an image data for previewing, from the print data after rechanging the once-changed direction of the image data in a case in which the print data is generated after changing the direction of the image data; and displaying the generated preview data onto the information processing apparatus.

  • Patent number: 8448192
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium has a universal driver executable on a computer. The universal driver includes instructions for: selecting a device for executing a function from connected devices according to an input from a user; sending a request to the operating system to set a communication port for communication with the selected device as a specified port; storing port identification information of a communication port for communication with the selected device and associated with the user in a memory; determining whether port identification information of the specified communication port matches the port identification information of the communication port associated with the user; sending a control command to the device to execute the function via the specified communication port according to a result of the determination indicating a match; and notifying the user of a different port being set as a specified port according to a result indicating a non-match.
