Abstract: A method of controlling an information processing apparatus includes displaying an edit screen including an obtained image and a print range frame based on obtained print setting information, accepting an edit operation of arrangement of the image in the edit screen, generating image data based on an edited image, and transmitting the generated image data and the print setting information to the image forming apparatus as a print job. Where the image has been edited such that there is a region where the image is not arranged in the print range frame, combining processing in which a predetermined image is added in the region is performed and whereby image data including the image and predetermined image is generated, and where the image has been edited such that there is no region where the image is not arranged in the print range frame, the combining processing is not performed.

Abstract: An application that transmits a print job to an image forming apparatus includes: an image obtaining unit that obtains an image to be edited; a print setting obtaining unit that obtains print setting information; a display control unit that displays an image edit screen including the image and a print range frame based on the print setting information; an arrangement edit accepting unit that accepts an edit operation of arrangement of the image in the image edit screen; an output image data generating unit that generates image data in which a predetermined image is combined in a region where no image is arranged in the print range frame, in response to input of a print instruction after the edit operation; and a print job transmitting unit that transmits the generated image data and the print setting information to the image forming apparatus as the print job.

Abstract: In an enlarged/reduced printout in which the document margin of an application setting is maintained, a margin considering the enlargement ratio or reduction ratio needs to be set again in the application at the time of printing. An information processing apparatus that executes the application performs the following process: a paper size and margin size for printing a document are designated. First paper information based on an original size and margin size set by the application, and second paper information based on the designated paper size and margin size, which are generated by executing a plug-in program for the application, are acquired. When printing a document to match the paper size, print data is enlarged or reduced based on the first paper information and the second paper information while the margin size set by the application is maintained.

Abstract: When a printer apparatus is allowed to execute a printing of a document using paper based on a print setting set by the user, the following processes are executed in order to allow the user to recognize a paper saving print setting. Whether or not there is a print setting which can save an amount of paper compared to the print setting set by the user is determined. If it is determined that a paper saving print setting exists, the user is notified of such a paper saving print setting.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, in a plug-in of a general use application, sheet size information and margin information set by the application are calculated by using a scaling factor at the time of an expansion or reduction printing. The calculated sheet size information and margin information are reconfigured into the application.

Abstract: This invention relates to a host apparatus and an image editing method, which can reflect a user's desired layout design. The host apparatus, which is connected to a printing apparatus capable of placing and printing a plurality of images on a printing medium and transfers image data, lays out the plurality of images in the following way. The direction of a printing medium to be used for printing is specified. Then, the length of the printing medium to be used for printing is specified. Selectable placement orders of the plurality of images are determined, based on the specification, and are displayed on the screen. Finally, a desired placement order is selected from the displayed selectable placement orders.

Abstract: A printing system configured to set a segment unit size serving as a unit of a display area for displaying, as images, a list of pages which form the document; acquire a width and a height of each page image from the document data; calculate, when a value of a ratio of the width and the height of the page acquired in the acquiring exceeds a predetermined value, a display area size having a display region larger than the segment unit size; determine, for a page having the value of the ratio exceeding the predetermined value, an enlargement/reduction ratio so as to fit the page into the display area size; and display, a list of pages which form the document, by enlarging or reducing the page based on the enlargement/reduction ratio determined in the determining and displaying the page in a display screen at the display area.
