Abstract
When a general-use printing program receives a print instruction to cause a printer to execute printing of an image, a supporting program receives a print parameter used for processing intermediate image data. When the print parameter includes a setting of image combining of combining a watermark with an image subjected to printing in accordance with the print instruction, the supporting program causes a PC to generate a watermark to be combined with the image subjected to printing.
Claims12
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for an information processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus having a controller, the recording medium containing computer-executable programs realizing a supporting program corresponding to a printer connectable to the information processing apparatus,
- the supporting program causing, when executed by the controller, the information processing apparatus to perform:
- a receiving process when a print instruction is input to a general-use printing program, the print instruction causing the printer to execute printing of an image, the general-use printing program being a program implemented in an operating system of the information processing apparatus, the receiving process being a process of receiving a print parameter of printing corresponding to the print instruction, the print parameter including a setting of editing of a target image based on a specific object, the target image being an image subjected to printing based on the print instruction;
- and
- a generating process of generating specific data to be edited with generated data, the generated data being data generated by the general-use printing program based on the target image, the target image being an image subjected to printing when the setting of the editing is received in the receiving process.
An information processing apparatus having a controller,
- wherein a general-use printing program is implemented in an operating system of the information processing apparatus,
- wherein a supporting program is implemented in the information processing apparatus, the supporting program corresponding to a printer connectable to the information processing apparatus,
- wherein the controller performs:
- a receiving process when a print instruction is input to a general-use printing program, the print instruction causing the printer to execute printing of an image, the general-use printing program being a program implemented in an operating system of the information processing apparatus, the receiving process being a process of receiving a print parameter of printing corresponding to the print instruction, the print parameter including a setting of editing of a target image based on a specific object, the target image being an image subjected to printing based on the print instruction;
- and
- a generating process of generating specific data to be edited with generated data, the generated data being data generated by the general-use printing program based on the target image, the target image being an image subjected to printing when the setting of the editing is received in the receiving process.
A printing method of controlling an information processing apparatus having a controller,
- wherein a general-use printing program is implemented in an operating system of the information processing apparatus,
- wherein a supporting program is implemented in the information processing apparatus, the supporting program corresponding to a printer connectable to the information processing apparatus,
- wherein the method includes:
- when a print instruction is input to a general-use printing program, receiving a print parameter of printing corresponding to the print instruction, the print instruction causing the printer to execute printing of an image, the general-use printing program being a program implemented in an operating system of the information processing apparatus, the print parameter including a setting of editing of a target image based on a specific object with, the target image being an image subjected to printing based on the print instruction;
- and
- generating specific data to be edited with generated data, the generated data being data generated by the general-use printing program based on the target image, the target image being an image subjected to printing when the setting of the editing is received.
