  • Patent number: 10583670
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium for an information processing apparatus stores instructions realizing a controlling program. The controlling program causes, when executed, a controller to obtain rendering information corresponding to a rendering event when a rendering event requiring input of the rendering command to the operating system is generated, obtain characteristic information regarding a resolution of the display, and generate the raster image data using the rendering information as obtained and an expansion rendering instruction information as input.

  • Patent number: 8559038
    Abstract: An automatic file transfer system includes a personal computer and one or more printers. The automatic file transfer system includes a transfer folder capable of containing one or more files, wherein, when the personal computer recognizes, through plug-and-play, that a printer among the one or more printers which are connected to the personal computer is powered on, if the printer currently recognized is a transfer-target printer, the personal computer executes in a repetitive manner, for the printer currently recognized, processes of: (i) determining whether or not a new file is moved into the transfer folder; and (ii) transferring, if it is determined that a new file is moved into the transfer folder, the new file to the printer currently recognized.

  • Patent number: 8307280
    Abstract: If a plurality of objects arranged on a layout and including text, word art or bar code are selected and a command is entered from the menu window to create link objects, a CPU sets an object ranked as first as a parent object constituting the link object and stores the parent object in the RAM, with a group ID for identifying the link object allocated thereto. The CPU sets the remaining objects as child objects and stores the objects in the RAM, with a group ID for identifying the link object allocated thereto.

  • Publication number: 20070283249
    Abstract: If a model data file 84 cannot be entirely displayed in the data file display area 82, the display scale of the model data file 84 is compressed to make display setting such that the coordinate X3, Y3 on the right end portion at the lower end side in the column direction of the model data file 84 is displayed on the lower edge portion of the data file display area 82. Further, the tape display area 81 is compressed by about 57% in the vertical direction of the screen, and accordingly, the data file display area 82 is expanded in the vertical direction of the screen. At the same time, display setting is made such that the coordinate X3, Y3 on the display screen at the right end portion at the lower end side in the column direction of the model data file 84 is displayed on the lower edge portion of the expanded data file display area 82.
