  • Publication number: 20160004484
    Abstract: Disclosed is a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a print control program, which when executed by a processor, causes an information processing apparatus connected to a printer via a network to perform a process. The process includes causing a screen generator to generate a plurality of screens via which respective instructions for a plurality of print settings are received from a user, causing a display controller to display setting items corresponding to the screens in a predetermined order, and control switching between the screens based on the respective instructions corresponding to the setting items received from the user, and causing a print setting limiter to limit the respective print settings, for which the respective instructions are received from the user via the respective screens, based on the predetermined order of the setting items.

  • Publication number: 20150301769
    Abstract: Disclosed is a non-transitory recording medium storing a function setting program for utilizing an image forming apparatus. The function setting program, when processed by a processor, executes a process including receiving a page range to which page process functions settable by page unit are applied, by each of the page process functions, receiving a page range to which post process functions executable after forming an image are applied, by each of the post process functions, and displaying a list of the functions applied to each of the page ranges on a display part by associating the page range to which the post process functions are applied, among the page ranges to which the post process functions are applied, the page range to which image process functions are applied so as to identify types of the functions applied to a corresponding one of the page ranges.

  • Patent number: 8842338
    Abstract: In a printer driver, combinations of standard print conditions and standard render data are saved as standard patterns, and combinations of standard print conditions and standard render data used for exceptional settings are saved as print application patterns. The print application patterns and the standard patterns are associated with each other. When printing document data, print condition data and render data are spooled by each page, the standard print conditions and the standard render data are compared, and a most similar standard pattern is detected. The print application pattern corresponding to the detected standard pattern is referred to, and print conditions are generated by combining standard print conditions and print conditions of the document data for each page. From the render data of the document data or from the standard render data, print data that can be processed by the printer is generated.
