  • Publication number: 20110286034
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus is disclosed, including an application, a user interface part, a storage part, an image processing part, and a sending part. The application issues a drawing instruction and outputs drawing data. The user interface part performs a print setting with respect to the drawing data. The storage part stores a setting file in which parameters of an allocation process are set. The image processing part performs the allocation process on the drawing data based on the setting file read out from the storage part when the print setting using the setting file is determined by the user interface part. The sending part sends the drawing data on which the allocation process is performed by the image processing part, to an output destination.
