  • Patent number: 11947844
    Abstract: A display control method includes the steps of obtaining a first preview image resolution for checking a printing layout, obtaining a second preview image resolution for checking a spot color printing portion where the spot color printing is carried out, and displaying a spot color preview image for checking the spot color printing portion by using a resolution based on the first preview image resolution and the second preview image resolution. The first preview image resolution is calculated and obtained based on a print setting included in the print data and on a size of a region where display is carried out in the preview image displaying step, and the second preview image resolution is calculated and obtained based on a drawing command included in the print data and on the size of the region where display is carried out in the preview image displaying step.

  • Publication number: 20240069831
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a prescribed program causes a computer to execute a method including displaying a content to be printed based on print data, and executing, in a case where the print data does not include an object corresponding to first RGB values, a prescribed notification of not including the object corresponding to the first RGB values in the print data even though a first setting is being activated. The first setting is to print a first print region corresponding to the first RGB values in a print target image by using a first color represented by use of at least a specific color ink being an ink of a color other than a process color. In a case where the first setting is being activated and the print data includes the object corresponding to the first RGB values, the prescribed notification is not executed.

  • Patent number: 11442675
    Abstract: A method of controlling an information processing apparatus to convert data received from a first print module into data appropriate for a print apparatus not supporting the first print module comprises the steps of obtaining first print data and first print setting from the first print module as a first obtainment step, and changing the first print data and the first print setting according to whether the first print data is raster data or vector data and whether or not the first print setting includes setting of collation printing for printing in a collated manner. Data based on the changed first print data and first print setting is output to the print apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20210200489
    Abstract: A print conversion utility converts data received from an OS print module into data appropriate for a print apparatus not supporting the OS print module. The print conversion utility obtains print data and print setting from the OS print module. The print conversion utility obtains capability of the print apparatus from the print apparatus. The print conversion utility changes the print data and the print setting according to a type of the print data, the print setting, and the capability of the print apparatus and converts the print data and the print setting into data appropriate for the print apparatus to output the data to the print apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20150242173
    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.
