Abstract: An image processing apparatus performs a density adjustment process for generating an image containing a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image for warning against the use of copy products. To help users to easily adjust the density of a latent image portion and a background portion in the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image, the image processing apparatus determines a density relationship of the latent image portion and the background portion by performing a plurality of adjustment operations, in combination, different in the amount of adjustment relating to the range of variable density in at least one of the latent image portion and the background portion, and sets, based on the density relationship, the density data of each of the latent image portion and the background portion in the data of the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image.

Abstract: A printing result can be obtained with correct segment of a set unit in a collate document. When a printing mode in which a spool file manager 304 outputs a plurality of logical pages on one storage medium, drawing information among logical pages in a document is compared, and, when it is determined that the document is a collate document to be printed in plural set units, drawing information among logical pages in a document spooled in a spool file 303 is compared. Then, the number of pages indicating a segment of a set unit is detected, and a set-unit transfer process for drawing information on a printer 1500 is controlled depending on the segment of a set unit.
