Publication number: 20170038723Abstract: A print control apparatus receives a request for printing that contains a binding direction at the time of case binding using a signature, and determines whether the binding direction contained in the received request is a predetermined binding direction. The print control apparatus performs imposition processing so as to achieve a predetermined folding direction of the signature and issues an instruction to carry out the printing if the received binding direction is determined to be the predetermined binding direction, and performs the imposition processing in such a manner that a folding direction of the signature matches the predetermined folding direction of the signature and also issues an instruction to carry out the printing so as to reverse an order of discharging paper if the received binding direction is determined not to be the predetermined binding direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2016Publication date: February 9, 2017Inventor: Tomoaki Watanabe

Patent number: 8409704Abstract: The invention relates to a prepreg, obtained by impregnating a base material with an epoxy resin composition containing an epoxy resin (A), a curing agent (B), an accelerator (C), a phenoxy resin (D), and an inorganic filler (E) and semi-hardening the impregnated material, wherein the inorganic filler (E) has an average particle diameter of 3 ?m or less. When a circuit with a narrow wire distance is formed on a surface of a insulator substrate composed of such a prepreg by using a method of forming the circuit by plating process, an amount of the plating remaining on the insulator substrate surface at the circuit contour periphery can be reduced. As a result, it leads to stabilization of inter-circuit insulation resistance and increase in a yield during production of printed wiring boards.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2007Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Yasuo Fukuhara, Tomoaki Watanabe, Mao Yamaguchi, Yuki Kitai, Hiroaki Fujiwara
