Printing method using Nup function, and computer readable recording medium storing computer program for executing the printing method

A printing method using a multiple pages per side (Nup) function, by which a document comprising a plurality of pages is printed using the Nup function of printing multiple pages on a sheet of paper, the method comprising:

• calculating a data amount of a page to be printed;
• determining whether the calculated data amount exceeds a predetermined reference data amount;
• processing data of the page to be printed as data to be multiple printed in response to determining that the calculated data amount does not exceed the predetermined reference data amount;
• processing data of the page to be printed as data to be commercially printed, and
• printing the plurality of pages according to the processed data.

A printing method using a multiple pages per side (Nup) function, by which a document comprising a plurality of pages is printed using the Nup function of printing N pages on a sheet of paper, the method comprising:

• grouping the plurality of pages into at least one group;
• setting N with respect to each of the at least one group;
• and
• determining which of the at least one group a page to be printed belongs to, and processing data of the page to be printed according to the set N for the determined group.

A printing method using a multiple pages per side (Nup) function, by which a document comprising a plurality of pages is printed using the Nup function of printing multiple pages on a sheet of paper, the method comprising:

• setting a printing environment;
• processing data of the plurality of pages as data to be multiple printed, according to the set printing environment;
• generating a number indicating an order of the multiple pages to be printed on the sheet of paper;
• and
• multiple-printing the plurality of pages together with corresponding page numbers according to the printing environment according to the processed data and the generated number of multiple pages.

A computer readable recording medium storing a computer program to control an apparatus to print a document comprising a plurality of pages using a multiple pages per side (Nup) function of printing multiple pages on a sheet of paper, wherein the computer program controls the apparatus to perform a process comprising:

• recognizing a set printing environment;
• processing data of the plurality of pages as data to be multiple printed, according to the set printing environment;
• generating a number indicating an order of the multiple pages to be printed on the sheet of paper;
• and
• instructing a printer to multiple-print the plurality of pages together with corresponding page numbers according to the printing environment according to the processed data and the generated number of multiple pages.

A printing method using a multiple pages per side (Nup) function, the method comprising:

• determining whether a user has selected a repetition printing function of repeatedly printing identical contents on a sheet of paper;
• reducing a size of the identical contents in response to determining the user has selected the repetition printing function;
• copying the reduced contents a predetermined number of times;
• and
• printing the copied reduced contents on the sheet of paper.

A computer readable recording medium storing a computer program to control an apparatus to print a plurality of images on a sheet of paper, wherein the computer program controls the apparatus to perform a process comprising:

• determining whether a user has selected a repetition printing function of repeatedly printing identical contents on the sheet of paper;
• reducing a size of the identical contents in response to determining the user has selected the repetition printing function;
• and
• copying the reduced contents a predetermined number of times,
• wherein the copied reduced contents are printed on the sheet of paper.

A printing method using a multiple pages per side (Nup) function, the method comprising:

• determining whether a multiple pages per side (Nup) function of printing N, where N is a positive integral number more than 1, pages per sheet has been selected;
• determining whether a user has selected N from predetermined values or has set N arbitrarily in response to determining that the multiple pages per side (Nup) function has been selected;
• processing printing data corresponding to contents of a page to be included in the sheet using the arbitrarily-set N in response to determining the user has set N arbitrarily;
• processing printing data using the selected N in response to determining the user has selected N from the predetermined values;
• and
• performing a printing operation in accordance with the printing data after processing the printing data, or in response to determining the multiple pages per side (Nup) function has not been selected.
