Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a reception unit that receives an instruction to place and print an image in an area of a specific shape having an aspect ratio different from an aspect ratio of a recording sheet; a print control unit performs control such that a support image is on the recording sheet, the support image supporting specification of a cut position to cut out the area of the specific shape, in which the image of which printing instruction is received by the reception unit is printed, from the recording sheet; and an output unit outputs an explanatory image that explains the cut position with respect to the support image, in a case where the reception unit receives the printing instruction.
Claims20
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive an instruction to place and print an image in an area of a specific shape having an aspect ratio different from an aspect ratio of a recording sheet;
- perform control such that a support image is printed on the recording sheet, the support image supporting specification of a cut position to cut out the area of the specific shape, in which the image of which printing instruction that has been received is printed, from the recording sheet;
- and
- output an explanatory image that explains the cut position with respect to the support image, in a case where the processor receives the printing instruction,
- wherein the support image is formed using image data of an image obtained by converting the image to be placed and printed in the area of the specific shape into a monochrome image.
The image forming apparatus according to claim
- wherein the cut position is between the area of the specific shape on the recording sheet and the support image.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute:
- receiving an instruction to place and print an image in an area of a specific shape having an aspect ratio different from an aspect ratio of a recording sheet;
- performing control such that a support image is printed on the recording sheet, the support image supporting specification of a cut position to cut out the area of the specific shape, in which the image of which printing instruction is received in the receiving is printed, from the recording sheet;
- and
- outputting an explanatory image that explains the cut position with respect to the support image, in a case where the printing instruction is received in the receiving,
- wherein the support image is formed using image data of an image obtained by converting the image to be placed and printed in the area of the specific shape into a monochrome image.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute:
- a reception step that receives an instruction to fit an image in a square area and to print the fitted image on a recording sheet;
- a print control step that performs control such that a support image is printed on the recording sheet, the support image supporting specification of a cut position to cut out the square area, in which the image of which the instruction is received in the reception step is printed, from e recording sheet;
- and
- an output step that that outputs an explanatory image that explains the cut position with respect to the support image, in a case where the printing instruction is received in the reception step,
- wherein the support image is provided at a position separated from the cut position by substantially the same length as a width of the support image,
- wherein the instruction to print the fitted image has a plurality of instructions selected by a user, and the explanatory image is designed to be changed based on a selection of the user.
