Abstract: First quantization data for printing by the first nozzle group and second quantization data for printing by the second nozzle group are generated based on multi-valued data. By use of mask patterns, first print data and second print data are generated based on the first quantization data and the second quantization data. The first mask pattern for generating first print data and the second mask pattern for generating second print data are formed so as to include a pixel in which printing of a dot is allowed in both and a pixel in which printing of a dot is not allowed in both. The pixel value of each pixel indicated by the multi-valued data has a correlation with the sum of the number of dots indicated by the first print data and the number of dots indicated by the second print data in the area corresponding to each pixel.

Abstract: A controller of an information processing device receives a packet via the network interface and performs a process corresponding to the received packet when the information processing device operates in the first power mode. The network interface performs a process of transmitting the received packet to the controller when the information processing device operates in the first power mode, and performs a process of discarding the received packet or the process of transmitting the received packet to the controller when the information processing device operates in the second power mode. The network interface has a storage area in which a discarding determination pattern is stored. The controller performs a process of updating a list of the discarding determination pattern to be stored in the network interface based on determination of whether a process on the received packet in the controller is a discarding process.

Abstract: In implementations of systems for font replacement in print workflows, a computing device implements a print system to receive print request data describing a document having a corpus of text rendered using a font that is not available to the print system. The print system extracts the corpus of text from the document and generates an indication of a context category of the corpus of text using a machine learning model training to classify context categories of text inputs using training data describing a different corpus of text. A replacement font is identified based on the indication of the context category from replacement font data describing a plurality of candidate replacement fonts. The printing system generates a raster image depicting the corpus of text rendered using the replacement font.

Abstract: Provided are an image layout size calculation apparatus, an image layout size calculation method, and an image layout size calculation program which are capable of outputting an image with a small blurriness degree. A blurriness value is calculated for each image area, and the smallest blurriness value is decided (step S24). Resolution of a printer that prints the image is read (step S25). A layout size in which the blurriness value is equal to or smaller than a second threshold value is calculated based on the number of pixels of the image, the decided blurriness value, and the resolution of the printer (step S26). By printing the image having a size equal to or smaller than the calculated layout size, the blurriness degree of the printed image is reduced.
