Abstract
An MFP (Multifunction Peripheral) is an image processing apparatus used for a printing method. In the printing method, plural kinds of images are printed on paper. The paper is trimmed after printing. Thereby, each of plural kinds of images can be obtained. The MFP includes a mark attaching unit that arranges marks corresponding to each of a plurality of kinds of images at scheduled cutting positions. As a result, it is possible to easily sort the sheets after cutting.
Claims18
An image processing apparatus used in a printing method for obtaining each of plural kinds of images by printing the plural kinds of images on paper, and cutting the paper after the printing, the image processing apparatus comprising a hardware processor that:
- arranges marks corresponding to the plural kinds of images at planned cutting positions;
- and
- performs an imposition process for allocating segmented areas which are areas for forming images of each of the plural kinds of images, on one surface of one sheet of paper,
- wherein the imposition process allocates the segmented areas and changes a rotational orientation of part of the plural kinds of images depending on the allocated segmented areas, such that the images after the cutting each have a new edge, which is a new edge of the sheet generated by the cutting, the new edge being located at a same side of the cut images when the cut images are viewed in a same rotational orientation.
An image forming apparatus used in a printing method for obtaining each of plural kinds of images by printing the plural kinds of images on paper, and cutting the paper after the printing, the image forming apparatus comprising a hardware processor that:
- receives input of the plural kinds of images;
- forms an image in which marks corresponding to each of the plural kinds of images received are arranged at planned cutting positions;
- and
- performs an imposition process for allocating segmented areas which are areas for forming images of each of the plural kinds of images, on one surface of one sheet of paper,
- wherein the imposition process allocates the segmented areas and changes a rotational orientation of part of the plural kinds of images depending on the allocated segmented areas, such that the images after the cutting each have a new edge, which is a new edge of the sheet generated by the cutting, the new edge being located at a same side of the cut images when the cut images are viewed in a same rotational orientation.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a controlling program for an image processing apparatus used in a printing method for obtaining each of plural kinds of images by printing the plural kinds of images on paper, and cutting the paper after the printing, the program causing a computer to execute:
- arranging marks corresponding to the plural kinds of images at planned cutting positions;
- and
- performing an imposition process for allocating segmented areas which are areas for forming images of each of the plural kinds of images, on one surface of one sheet of paper,
- wherein the imposition process allocates the segmented areas and changes a rotational orientation of part of the plural kinds of images depending on the allocated segmented areas, such that the images after the cutting each have a new edge, which is a new edge of the sheet generated by the cutting, the new edge being located at a same side of the cut images when the cut images are viewed in a same rotational orientation.

- forming an image in which marks corresponding to each of the plural kinds of images received are arranged at planned cutting positions;
- and
- performing an imposition process for allocating segmented areas which are areas for forming images of each of the plural kinds of images, on one surface of one sheet of paper,
- wherein the imposition process allocates the segmented areas and changes a rotational orientation of part of the plural kinds of images depending on the allocated segmented areas, such that the images after the cutting each have a new edge, which is a new edge of the sheet generated by the cutting, the new edge being located at a same side of the cut images when the cut images are viewed in a same rotational orientation.
