Abstract
A printing system according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a touch panel display and a printing mechanism that performs printing according to a print setting configured using the touch panel display. The touch panel display is configured to selectively display a plurality of print setting sets in which a plurality of setting items are arranged in a vertical direction, and setting values corresponding to the plurality of setting items are arranged at respective positions in a horizontal direction with respect to the plurality of setting items.
Claims8
A printing system comprising:
- a touch panel display;
- and
- a printing mechanism that performs printing according to a print setting configured using the touch panel display, wherein
- the touch panel display is configured to selectively display a plurality of print setting sets in which a plurality of setting items are arranged in a first direction, and setting values corresponding to the plurality of setting items are arranged at respective positions in a second direction intersecting the first direction with respect to the plurality of setting items,
- a print setting set of the plurality of print setting sets is scrolled in the first direction and displayed in response to reception of a swipe operation made in the first direction by a user,
- the plurality of print setting sets are switched and a switched print setting set is displayed in response to reception of a swipe operation made in the second direction by the user,
- the touch panel display receives the swipe operation in the first direction with priority over the swipe operation in the second direction, and
- the printing mechanism performs printing based on the switched print setting set displayed on the touch panel display when a printing start instruction is received from the user.
A printed matter production method of producing printed matter by performing printing according to a print setting configured using a touch panel display, the printed matter production method comprising:
- selectively displaying, on the touch panel display, a plurality of print setting sets in which a plurality of setting items are arranged in a first direction, and setting values corresponding to the plurality of setting items are arranged at respective positions in a second direction intersecting the first direction with respect to the plurality of setting items;
- scrolling a print setting set of the plurality of print setting sets in the first direction and displaying the scrolled print setting set on the touch panel display in response to reception of a swipe operation made in the first direction by a user;
- switching the plurality of print setting sets and displaying a switched print setting set on the touch panel display in response to reception of a swipe operation made in the second direction by the user;
- receiving, on the touch panel display, the swipe operation in the first direction with priority over the swipe operation in the second direction;
- and
- causing a printing mechanism to perform printing based on the switched print setting set displayed on the touch panel display when a printing start instruction is received from the user to produce the printed matter.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to implement:
- a display function that displays an operation screen on a display device;
- an input function that receives a user operation;
- and
- a processing function that executes processing according to an operation received via the operation screen, wherein
- a plurality of setting sets in which a plurality of setting items are arranged in a first direction, and setting values corresponding to the plurality of setting items are arranged at respective positions in a second direction intersecting the first direction with respect to the plurality of setting items are selectively displayed on the operation screen,
- a setting set of the plurality of setting sets is scrolled in the first direction and displayed in response to reception of a swipe operation made in the first direction by a user,
- the plurality of setting sets are switched and a switched setting set is displayed in response to reception of a swipe operation made in the second direction by the user,
- the operation screen receives the swipe operation in the first direction with priority over the swipe operation in the second direction,
- the plurality of setting sets are switched and the switched setting set is displayed in response to reception of a tap operation made in the second direction by the user, and
- the setting set displayed on the operation screen is displayed differently depending on whether the swipe operation in the second direction or the tap operation in the second direction is performed.
