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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18400242 titled 'STORAGE MEDIUM AND CONTROL METHOD OF INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure relates to a printing system that can support multiple printable areas for one paper size. The system includes software for converting print data into different formats and performing margin insertion processing.

  • Printing system with support for multiple printable areas for one paper size:
   - Includes first printing control software and second printing control software
   - Converts print data from first format to second format
   - Creates raster data based on the print data
   - Determines if the printing-target medium needs a larger margin
   - Performs margin insertion processing for the created raster data

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various industries such as printing, publishing, and graphic design where different printable areas are required on a single paper size.

Problems Solved

- Efficiently support multiple printable areas on one paper size - Ensure proper margins for different printing-target mediums - Streamline the printing process by converting print data into different formats

Benefits

- Increased flexibility in printing designs - Improved accuracy in margin insertion - Enhanced control over printable areas on a single paper size

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhancing Printing Efficiency with Multiple Printable Areas Technology"

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of software to convert print data into different formats for printing on various mediums. Additionally, margin insertion processing has been used in printing systems to ensure proper spacing on printed materials.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system determine the size of the margin needed for different printing-target mediums?

The abstract mentions a determination of whether a medium needs a margin larger than a regular size, but it does not specify the exact method used for this determination.

What types of paper sizes are compatible with this printing system?

The abstract mentions supporting multiple printable areas for one paper size, but it does not specify the range of paper sizes that can be used with this system.


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.
