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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18357525 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

An information processing apparatus is described in this patent application. The apparatus includes memories that store a print data generation software, an extension application, and an operating system. It also includes a processor that is in communication with the memories. The memory and the processor are configured to extend a function associated with the print data generation software and display print function information on a screen. The apparatus can acquire paper information from a printing apparatus and add it to the print function information.

  • The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that includes memories, a processor, and software components.
  • The memories store a print data generation software, an extension application, and an operating system.
  • The processor is in communication with the memories and is configured to extend a function associated with the print data generation software.
