Abstract
An object of the present invention is to reduce influences of showthrough where a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern is visualized after printing. In order to attain the above object, the apparatus of the present invention is provided with determination means for determining whether a setting for printing a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image in which a character portion is rendered to a minor dot portion on both sides of a sheet is made and control means for controlling so that a warning screen is displayed where the determination means determines that the above setting has been made.
Claims8
An apparatus including:
- determination means for determining whether a setting for printing a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image in which a character portion is rendered to a minor dot portion on both sides of a sheet;
- and
- control means for controlling so that a warning screen is displayed where the determination means determines that the above setting has been made.
An apparatus including:
- determination means for determining whether a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image in which a character portion is rendered to a minor dot portion is printed on one side of a sheet;
- and
- control means, where the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image in which the character portion is rendered to the minor dot portion is printed on the one side of the sheet by the determination means, for prohibiting the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image in which the character portion is rendered to the minor dot portion is printed on the other side of the sheet, and where the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image in which the character portion is rendered to the minor dot portion is not printed on the one side of the sheet by the determination means, for permitting the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image in which the character portion is rendered to the minor dot portion is printed on the other side of the sheet.
An apparatus including:
- determination means for determining whether a setting for printing a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image on both sides of a sheet has been made;
- and
- setting means for making the setting for printing the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image in which a character portion is rendered to a major dot portion is automatically printed on both sides of sheet where the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image is printed on both sides of the sheet by the determination means.
An apparatus including:
- determination means for determining whether a setting for printing a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image on both sides of a sheet has been made;
- judgment means for judging whether where the above setting is made by the determination means, a setting for rendering a character portion to a minor dot portion at least on one of the both sides of a sheet has been made;
- and
- cancellation means for canceling a setting in which the character portion is rendered to the minor dot portion where the setting has been made at least on one side of the sheet by the judgment means.
1 more element
An apparatus including:
- determination means for determining whether an image remaining on one side of a sheet after printing is printed at a density equal to or higher than a predetermined density;
- and
- control means, where the image remaining on one side of the sheet after printing is determined by the determination means to be printed at a density equal to or higher than a predetermined density, for prohibiting that a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image is printed on the other side of the sheet, and where the image remaining on one side of the sheet after printing is determined by the determination means not to be printed at a density equal to or higher than a predetermined density, for permitting that the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image is printed on the other side of the sheet.
An apparatus including:
- determination means for determining whether in printing an image on both sides of a sheet, a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image in which a character portion is rendered to a minor dot portion is printed on one side of a sheet;
- and
- control means, where the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image in which the character portion is rendered to the minor dot portion is printed on one side of the sheet by the determination means, for prohibiting that the copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image in which the character portion is rendered to the minor dot portion is printed on the other side of the sheet.
A method including:
- a determination step for determining whether a setting for printing a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image in which a character portion is rendered to a minor dot portion on both sides of a sheet has been made ;
- and
- a control step which controls so that a warning screen is displayed where the above setting is determined to have been made by the determination step.
A program for a storage medium which can be read by a computer for allowing the computer to execute a method, including:
- a determination step for determining whether a setting for printing a copy-forgery-inhibited pattern image in which a character portion is rendered to a minor dot portion on both sides of a sheet has been made;
- and
- control step for controlling so that a warning screen is displayed where the determination step determines that the above setting has been made.
