Abstract
A printing apparatus that performs timeline display of a plurality of items corresponding to operation histories in past is provided, the printing apparatus including a receiving section configured to receive reprinting based on a first item selected out of the timeline-displayed plurality of items and a display control section configured to timeline-display a second item corresponding to an operation history of the reprinting based on the first item in a display form having a decided relation between the second item and the first item.
Claims9
A printing apparatus that performs timeline display of a plurality of items corresponding to operation histories in past, the printing apparatus comprising:
- a processor including
- a receiving section configured to receive reprinting based on a first item selected out of the timeline-displayed plurality of items;
- and
- a display control section configured to timeline-display a second item indicating an operation history of the reprinting that has been Performed in response to the receiving section receiving the reprinting based on the first item, in a display form having a decided relation between the second item and the first item, and timeline-display a third item corresponding to an operation history different from both of the operation history of the reprinting that has been performed in response to the receiving section receiving the reprinting based on the first item and an operation history of the reprinting based on the second item, in a display form not having the decided relation with both of the first item and the second item.
A print producing method executed by a printing apparatus that performs timeline display of a plurality of items corresponding to operation histories in past, the print producing method comprising:
- receiving reprinting based on a first item selected out of the timeline-displayed plurality of items;
- timeline-displaying a second item indicating an operation history of the reprinting that has been performed in response to the receiving of the reprinting based on the first item, in a display form having a decided relation between the second item and the first item and timeline-displaying a third item corresponding to an operation history different from both of the operation history of the reprinting that has been performed in response to the receiving of the reprinting based on the first item and an operation history of the reprinting based on the second, item in a display form not having the decided relation with both of the first item and the second item;
- and
- when any one of the plurality of items is selected by a user, performing the reprinting according to setting included in an operation history corresponding to the selected item to produce a print.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer, which performs timeline display of a plurality of items corresponding to operation histories in past, to function as:
- a receiving function for receiving a reoperation based on a first item selected out of the timeline-displayed plurality of items;
- and
- a display control function for timeline-displaying a second item indicating an operation history of the reoperation that has been performed in response to the receiving of the reoperation based on the first item, in a display form having a decided relation between the second item and the first item and timeline-displaying a third item corresponding to an operation history different from both of the operation history of the reoperation that has been performed in response to the receiving of the reoperation based on the first item and an operation history of the reoperation based on the second item, in a display form not having the decided relation with both of the first item and the second item.
