US 12,260,138 B2 · Control method of information processing apparatus using first printing control software and second printing control software for setting margin amounts based on a paper type

Abstract

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a printing system capable of supporting a plurality of printable areas for one paper size. One embodiment of the present invention is a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform a control method in an information processing apparatus including: first printing control software; and second printing control software that converts first format print data output by the first printing control software into second format print data, and the control method includes: a first creation step of creating raster data based on the first format print data; a medium determination step of performing determination of whether a printing-target medium is a medium that needs a margin larger than a regular size; and a margin insertion step of performing margin insertion processing for raster data created at the first creation step.

Claims25

Dependent claims

A control method executed by at least one processor of an information processing apparatus in which first printing control software provided by an operating-system (OS) vendor and second printing control software different from the first printing control software and provided by a printing-apparatus vendor are installed, the control method comprising:

by the second printing control software, receiving first print data created by the first printing control software;
and
by the second printing control software, based on the received first print data, creating second print data which is different from the first print data,
wherein in a case where a paper type of the first print data is a first paper type, a first margin amount is set by the second printing control software, and in a case where the paper type of the first print data is a second paper type which is different from the first paper type, a second margin amount which is different from the first margin amount is set by the second printing control software.

1 more element

An information processing apparatus in which first printing control software provided by an operating system (OS) vendor and second printing control software different from the first printing control software and provided by a printing-apparatus vendor are installed, the information processing apparatus comprising:

at least one processor;
and
at least one memory configured to store conversion software that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the information processing apparatus to act as:
a receiving unit configured to receive first print data created by the first printing control software;
and
a creating unit configured to create, based on the received first print data, second print data which is different from the first print data,
wherein in a case where a paper type of the first print data is a first paper type, a first margin amount is set by the creating unit, and in a case where the paper type of the first print data is a second paper type which is different from the first paper type, a second margin amount which is different from the first margin amount is set by the creating unit.
