Abstract: A control method for an apparatus to control print data obtains color information to be printed in a specific color from the print data, detects a specific location to be printed in the specific color based on the obtained color information, and performs first color conversion to subject the color information included in the print data in accordance with a color conversion instruction. Second color conversion is performed on image data subjected to the first color conversion to turn color information corresponding to the specific location back to color information indicating the specific color before the first color conversion is performed, and a printing unit prints on the specific location by using the second color based on the color information indicating the specific color turned back and prints on a location other than the specific location by using the first color based on color information after the first color conversion.

Abstract: In a method for always displaying a borderless protrusion area, which is an area for achieving borderless printing, when a borderless printing function is used, the display is not necessarily appropriate display depending on the application of the user. Setting for receiving a setting for enabling borderless printing, displaying control for displaying an editing screen including an image as an editing target and a recording medium area, and controlling for, in a case where the borderless printing is set and an operation on the editing screen is received, displaying an object indicating an area for the borderless printing outside the recording medium area on the editing screen, and in a case where the operation on the editing screen is not received, not displaying the object indicating the area for the borderless printing outside the recording medium area on the editing screen are executed.

Abstract: The invention provides a control method including: obtaining color information to be printed in the specific color out of color information included in print data; detecting a specific location to be printed in a specific color based on the obtained color information in an image; and performing first color conversion to subject the color information included in the print data to color conversion processing in accordance with a color conversion instruction. A printing unit executes printing based on the print data executes the printing on the specific location by using a second color in accordance with a print instruction involving the specific color and the color conversion instruction, and executes the printing on a location other than the specific location by using a first color based on color information after the color conversion in performing first color conversion.

Abstract: A control apparatus has a display unit, a first changing unit and a second changing unit. The display unit displays a print preview showing a print medium on which a sheet region corresponding to a predetermined paper size is provided. The first changing unit changes, based on a setting in a first setting item being changed, an orientation of the sheet region in the print preview displayed by the display unit. The second changing unit changes a positional relationship among a multiple pages on the print medium shown by the print preview based on a setting in a second setting item being changed by a user. Orientations of the multiple pages and the positional relationship and a setting in a second setting item are changed based on a change, by a first changing unit, of the orientation of the sheet region having the multiple pages arranged therein.

Abstract: Implemented are a control apparatus, a control method, and a storage medium that enable efficient setting of poster printing. To this end, a control apparatus of the present invention is a control apparatus that allows a printing apparatus to print multiple divided images, into which an input image is divided, on print media, including: a setting unit that sets the number of divisions of the input image based on user input; an obtaining unit that obtains a width of the print media; a determining unit that determines a print region width of each of the divided images based on at least the set number of divisions and the width of the print medium; and a display control unit that displays guide information indicating a dividing position on a preview screen of the input image based on at least the determined print region width of the divided image.

Abstract: Provided is a technique that enables efficient setting of poster printing and efficient processing of an image.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus that executes a first control program plugged in to an application to cause a printer to print data generated in the application and a second control program to be executed when a printing instruction is made, wherein the apparatus comprises a setting unit which sets, using the first control program, a predetermined sheet size which can include the data in one page to the application, and executes margin deletion setting to the second control program to cause margin deletion, a margin deletion unit which generates print data based on the data generated by the application and included in the one page having the predetermined sheet size, and deletes a margin in the generated print data, and an output unit which outputs, to the printer, the print data in which the margin has been deleted.

Abstract: A print preview of each page is correctly displayed even in the case of a print job including a plurality of pages requiring different sizes and types of print medium. For this purpose, print medium information about a print medium fed from each of a plurality of feeding units provided in a printing apparatus is acquired and, based on this information and setting information set for each of a plurality of pages included in a print job, each of the pages is allocated to a print medium fed from any one of the feeding units. After that, a preview in which a page allocated to a first print medium fed from a first feeding unit is laid out on an image representing the first print medium and a preview in which a page allocated to a second print medium fed from a second feeding unit is laid out on an image representing the second print medium are displayed.

Abstract: In a print control apparatus, a specifying unit specifies a size in a first direction and/or a size in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction thereby specifying a folding size into which to fold a sheet with a printed image. A determination unit determines an output size in which the image is to be printed, based on a size equal to an integral number times the specified size in the first direction and/or a size equal to an integral number times the specified size in the second direction.

Abstract: There is provided a print control apparatus capable of outputting a plurality of printed materials after a user checks a dividing line of an original image and the layout of image portions on each page when performing poster printing. For this purpose, the original image is divided based on the size of the original image and the size of a sheet such that each of a plurality of image portions obtained by division sets in the predetermined size. At the same time, the original image is displayed in print preview, so that the dividing line of the original image is specified. This allows the user to output printed materials and obtain a product after checking the dividing line of the image.
