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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240134583 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 controlling printing and converting print data formats, as well as steps for creating raster data, determining the need for margins, and inserting margins as necessary.

  • Control method for printing system:
   - First printing control software
   - Second printing control software for converting print data formats
   - Steps for creating raster data, determining margin needs, and inserting margins
  • Potential Applications:
   - Printing multiple designs on one sheet of paper
   - Customized printing for various paper sizes and formats
  • Problems Solved:
   - Efficient use of paper space for printing
   - Flexibility in printing different designs on the same sheet
  • Benefits:
   - Cost-effective printing solutions
   - Enhanced customization options for users
  • Potential Commercial Applications:
   - Printing services for businesses
   - Custom stationery and invitation printing
  • Possible Prior Art:
   - Prior printing systems may have limitations on printable areas for one paper size

Questions:

1. How does the printing system determine the need for margins larger than a regular size? 2. What are the specific formats supported by the second printing control software for converting print data?


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.
