Abstract: A non-transitory storage medium stores a supporting program executable by a computer of an information processing apparatus. The supporting program is configured to support a printing program of an operating system and conforms to a printer connected to the information processing apparatus. When executed by the computer, the supporting program causes the information processing apparatus to execute, when image data is inputted from the printing program in response to receiving the print instruction outputted from an application program for causing the printing program of the operating system to perform printing the image by the printer, adding header information, footer information, or both the header information and the footer information to the image data, and causing the printer to perform printing based on the image data to which the header information, the footer information, or both the header information and the footer information is added.

Abstract: In response to a print instruction instructing a printer to print an image being made with respect to a general-use printing program implemented in an operating system of the information processing device, the information processing device uses a supporting program to obtain an image size of print data subject to printing based on the number of vertical dots, the number of horizontal dots, and print resolution of the print data. Further, the information processing device obtains second size information indicating a sheet size included in a print setting and determines, by comparing the image size the sheet size, whether the sheet size conforms to the image size. When determining that the sheet size does not conform to the image size, the information processing device performs a warning process of displaying a warning message using a user interface.

Abstract: An information processing device has an operating system and a support program installed thereon. The operating system includes a general-purpose program. The support program is for acquiring, from an external device, settings information indicating whether stored printing is to be performed. The stored printing defines a sequence of printing in which, after the printer stores image data, the printer performs printing based on the stored image when a printing condition is satisfied. The support program is for setting, when the general-purpose program receives a print instruction from an editing application program, a setting value for a print job so that the setting value indicates that the stored printing is to be performed if the settings information indicates that the stored printing is to be performed. The support program is for sending the print job and identification information for the print job to the printer.

Abstract: In an information processing device, a support program supports a printer, and a printing program is built in an operating system. The support program causes the information processing device to perform: in a case that a print instruction to execute printing by using the built-in printing program is issued, at least one of a command outputting process and an outputting instruction process. The command outputting process outputs a preceding operation command to the printer before starting transmitting print execution data to the printer. The preceding operation command commands the printer to execute a preceding operation prior to starting printing. The printer having a function to execute the preceding operation specified in the preceding operation command. The outputting instruction process instructs a command transmission program to output the preceding operation command while the outputting instruction process designates the printer as an outputting destination.
