Abstract
A printer includes a printing device and a controller. The controller of the printer acquires image data and detects character data indicating a character from the acquired image data. Further, the controller adds a broken line along an outline of the character indicated by the detected character data. The controller generates a multivalued image with multiple values based on an image including the character with the broken line added, converts the generated multivalued image into two gray scales, and generates a binarized image. Further, the controller causes the printing device to perform printing based on the generated binarized image.
Claims12
A printer, comprising:
- a printing device;
- and
- a controller, wherein
- the controller is configured to execute
- acquisition processing of acquiring image data,
- character detection processing of detecting character data indicating a character from the image data acquired in the acquisition processing,
- broken line addition processing of adding a broken line along an outline of the character indicated by the character data detected in the character detection processing,
- multivalued image generation processing of generating a multivalued image with multiple values based on an image including the character with the broken line added in the broken line addition processing,
- binarized image generation processing of converting the multivalued image generated in the multivalued image generation processing into two gray scales and generating a binarized image, and
- printing processing of causing the printing device to perform printing based on the binarized image generated in the binarized image generation processing.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program executable by a computer of an information processing device, the program supporting a printer connected to the information processing device, the program comprising:
- acquisition processing of acquiring image data;
- character detection processing of detecting character data indicating a character from the image data acquired in the acquisition processing;
- broken line addition processing of adding a broken line along an outline of the character indicated by the character data detected in the character detection processing;
- and
- output processing of outputting, based on an image including the character with the broken line added in the broken line addition processing, a print command for causing the printer to perform printing.
