A print apparatus has a unit for printing input image data onto a print medium and printing a protection layer onto a print surface of the print medium on which the image data has been printed, a unit for inputting information different from the image data, and a control unit for controlling the printing of the protection layer by the print unit so that a portion where the protection layer is not printed indicates the input information.

Print apparatus and its control method

Provided are a print controller for controlling print processing that divides a one-page document into page pieces and prints multiple page pieces per sheet, a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium and a print control method. As one embodiment, the print controller adjusts a layout of the page pieces, in which fields for the page pieces are arranged in multiple lines extending in the page-division direction, so as to reduce the number of the lines to one, and creates print data according to the adjusted layout. As another embodiment, a computing device for creating a print job for printing a one-page document, displays a screen showing candidates for a layout of the page pieces, including an adjusted layout, in which the number of lines of fields for the page pieces extending in the page-division direction are reduced to one, and creates a print job according to the layout selected on the screen.

Print controller, non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing print control program and print control method

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a user to change a printing range without acquiring a printer driver of another model.SOLUTION: Sheet printing range information of an image forming device 10 is acquired from a printer driver 13. A plug-in for changing printing range is automatically generated with respect to a printer driver for another image forming device and embedded in the printer driver. In the printer driver, after prescribed printing range information is set during its own initialization, an embedded plug-in file 15 is executed. A function in the plug-in file 15 may be linked to the printer driver statically.

Method of emulating printing range of printer driver

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically print a poster with a final print output size specified, by specifying a print medium size and a print output size. SOLUTION: An image input section 31 inputs an image for printout. A print medium size specification section 33 specifies the print output size. An image conversion section 37 converts the input image from the image input section 31 into the print output size. Based on the above print output size and the print medium size, a dividing processing calculation section 35 calculates division information of the plane of the print output size. Based on the converted image obtained by the image conversion section 37 and the calculation result by the division processing calculation section 35, a division print data generation section 39 generates a division print data of the above converted image.
