  • Publication number: 20180285688
    Abstract: A reference image is generated based on processing information on processing including a process of inserting a second object into a first object configured such that the second object inserted therein is at least partially visible, and based on an image of the first object and an image of the second object. A captured image obtained by capturing an image of the first object with the second object inserted therein is verified with the reference image. The result of the verification is output.

  • Publication number: 20120162689
    Abstract: A customer PC receives running status information regarding the running status of print processing from a print device, refers to setting information regarding the division of the print job, and determines whether or not a setting for the division of the print job is made based on running status information. When a setting for the division of the print job is made based on running status information, the customer PC collects the records of variable data based on running status information, and divides the print job for each division unit corresponding to the number of records of the collected variable data. Then, the customer PC transmits the divided print job to a print device.
