Abstract
A non-transitory computer readable medium stores a program causing a computer to execute a process including: generating plural page description language (PDL) files written in plural types of PDLs for one portion of data; and performing control such that the generated plural PDL files and a different portion of the data other than the one portion are stored in an internal or external storage device in association with each other.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:
- generating a plurality of different page description language (PDL) files written in a plurality of different types of PDLs for only one portion of data that is smaller than an entirety of the data;
- performing control such that the plurality of generated PDL files for the only one portion of the data is stored in an internal or external storage device in association with a different portion of the data other than the one portion, for which no PDL file is yet generated;
- upon receiving a user instruction to print, transmitting an inquiry to a printing device regarding a specific PDL type supported by the printing device;
- based on an answer from the printing device, selecting a single one PDL file written in the specific PDL type among the plurality of different PDL files, and transmitting the selected single one PDL file for the one portion of the data to the printing device;
- and
- after the specific PDL type is specified in the answer from the printing device, generating a new single PDL file written in the specific PDL type for the different portion of the data.

An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a processor programmed to act as:
- generate a plurality of different page description language (PDL) files written in a plurality of different types of PDLs for only one portion of data that is smaller than an entirety of the data;
- perform control such that the plurality of generated PDL files for the only one portion of the data is stored in an internal or external storage device in association with a different portion of the data other than the one portion, for which no PDL file is yet generated;
- upon receiving a user instruction to print, transmit an inquiry to a printing device regarding a specific PDL type supported by the printing device;
- based on an answer from the printing device, select a single one PDL file written in the specific PDL type among the plurality of different PDL files, and transmit the selected single one PDL file for the one portion of the data to the printing device;
- and
- after the specific PDL type is specified in the answer from the printing device, generate a new single PDL file written in the specific PDL type for the different portion of the data.
