Abstract
A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores computer-readable instructions. The computer-readable instructions are executed by a processor of a pretreatment information generation device that generates pretreatment information to be used in pretreatment on a recording medium by a pretreatment device. The computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform processes including receiving image data to be printed on the recording medium, and identifying the pretreatment information to perform the pretreatment with respect to the received image data.
Claims14
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a pretreatment information generation device included in a system having the pretreatment information generation device, a pretreatment device and a printer, the pretreatment device being configured to perform pretreatment on a recording medium, the printer being configured to print an image on the recording medium, and the pretreatment information generation device being configured to generate pretreatment information to be used in the pretreatment by the pretreatment device, performs processes comprising:
- receiving image data to be printed on the recording medium by the printer, the image data representing the image;
- and
- identifying the pretreatment information to perform the pretreatment with respect to the received image data, the pretreatment information including a pretreatment range over which to perform the pretreatment by the pretreatment device, the pretreatment range including at least one unit range determined by a configuration of the pretreatment device, size of the unit range being larger than a minimum image forming range to be printed by the printer, an entire range of the unit range being applied with a pretreatment agent by the pretreatment device when the image is printed by the printer on at least a part of the unit range.
A pretreatment information generation method of a pretreatment information generation device included in a system having the pretreatment information generation device, a pretreatment device and a printer, the pretreatment device being configured to perform pretreatment on a recording medium, the printer being configured to print an image on the recording medium, and the pretreatment information generation device being configured to generate pretreatment information to be used in pretreatment by the pretreatment device, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving, by a controller of the pretreatment information generation device, image data to be printed on the recording medium by the printer, the image data representing the image;
- and
- identifying the pretreatment information to perform the pretreatment with respect to the image data received by the controller, the pretreatment information including a pretreatment range over which to perform the pretreatment by the pretreatment device, the pretreatment range including at least one unit range determined by a configuration of the pretreatment device, size of the unit range being larger than a minimum image forming range to be printed by the printer, an entire range of the unit range being applied with a pretreatment agent by the pretreatment device when the image is printed by the printer on at least a part of the unit range.
A system comprising:
- a pretreatment device being configured to perform pretreatment on a recording medium;
- a printer configured to print an image on the recording medium;
- and
- a pretreatment information generation device, wherein the pretreatment information generation device comprises:
- a receiver configured to receive image data to be printed on the recording medium by the printer, the image data representing the image;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform processes including:
- receiving the image data;
- and
- identifying pretreatment information to perform the pretreatment with respect to the received image data, the pretreatment information including a pretreatment range over which to perform the pretreatment by the pretreatment device of the pretreatment device, the pretreatment range including at least one unit range determined by a configuration of the pretreatment device, size of the unit range is larger than a minimum image forming range to be printed by the printer, an entire range of the unit range being applied with a pretreatment agent by the pretreatment device when the image is printed by the printer on at least a part of the unit range.
