Abstract: A printer driver causes a processor to perform a registration process in which correspondence information is generated by registering each of multiple preset informations in association with a file attribute information, an acquisition process in which a first file attribute information of a print target file, which is opened by an application software that is being executed, is acquired; and a display control process in which a control is performed such that, based on the first file attribute information and the correspondence information, one or more preset informations among the multiple preset informations are displayed in an easy-to-select display form.

Abstract: A print system includes: a print-function-information holding section; a host terminal; and an image formation apparatus. The host terminal includes: a print-function setting unit configured to perform print setting based on print function information held by the print-function-information holding section, and a transmission unit configured to transmit first data associating the print setting with first determination information, and to transmit second data associating the print data with second determination information. The image formation apparatus includes: a reception unit configured to receive the first data and the second data, a print control unit configured to perform print setting based on the first data, if the first determination information added to the first data and the second determination information added to the second data match with each other, and a print unit configured to print the print data based on the print setting.

Abstract: A function setup method of providing a user interface for setting various setup items related to a predetermined function, the method including: generating a setup screen in which display item groups corresponding respectively to the various setup items and each including display items are displayed in a list form; detecting an operation input instructing selection of one display item belonging to a certain one of the display item groups; changing a display state of the one display item to a setup effective state; accessing a data storage unit storing confliction information defining a conflicting relationship of setup values not allowed to be set simultaneously between the setup items, and finding a conflicting display item having the conflicting relationship with the one display item from the display item groups based on the confliction information; and changing the display state of the found conflicting display item to a setup disabled state.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus connected to a printer includes dialog screen producing section, a common preview producing section, and a display section. The dialog screen producing section is configured to produce a dialog screen that includes a plurality of tab sheets. The tab sheets prompt an operator to input first setting information for printing. The common preview producing section is configured to produce a common preview image that should be displayed on the dialog screen. The common preview image appears in all of the plurality of tab sheets. The display section is configured to display the dialog screen and the common preview image.
