STORAGE MEDIUM AND CONTROL METHOD OF INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18153478 titled 'STORAGE MEDIUM AND CONTROL METHOD OF INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The present invention is a printing system that supports multiple printable areas for one paper size. It includes first printing control software and second printing control software that converts the print data from the first software into a different format. The control method involves creating raster data based on the print data, determining if the printing-target medium requires a larger margin, and inserting margins into the raster data.

  • The invention provides a printing system that can handle different printable areas on a single paper size.
  • It includes software that converts print data from one format to another.
  • The system creates raster data based on the print data.
  • It determines if the printing-target medium needs a larger margin than usual.
  • If necessary, the system inserts margins into the raster data.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be used in printers and printing systems that need to support multiple printable areas on a single paper size.
  • It can be beneficial in situations where different margins are required for different printing tasks.
  • This technology can be applied in various industries that rely on printing, such as publishing, advertising, and graphic design.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • This technology solves the problem of limited printable areas on a single paper size.
  • It allows for more flexibility in printing by supporting different margins for different printing tasks.
  • This technology eliminates the need for manual adjustment of margins, saving time and effort.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The printing system can accommodate different printable areas on a single paper size, providing more flexibility in printing.
  • It automates the process of converting print data and inserting margins, reducing the need for manual adjustments.
  • This technology improves efficiency and accuracy in printing tasks.


Original Abstract Submitted

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a printing system capable of supporting a plurality of printable areas for one paper size. One embodiment of the present invention is a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform a control method in an information processing apparatus including: first printing control software; and second printing control software that converts first format print data output by the first printing control software into second format print data, and the control method includes: a first creation step of creating raster data based on the first format print data; a medium determination step of performing determination of whether a printing-target medium is a medium that needs a margin larger than a regular size; and a margin insertion step of performing margin insertion processing for raster data created at the first creation step.
