US 2010/0064176 A1 · DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS, DATA PROCESSING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Abstract

A data processing apparatus allocates a page number in a record to each of a plurality of records of a variable data print job and performs a preflight check every page number. After that, the data processing apparatus extracts the records in which the same kind of (or same) problem has occurred in a page of the same page number from the records included in the variable data print job. The data processing apparatus calculates a ratio of the extracted records to all records having the page of the page number and presumes whether the problem relates to a master object or relates to a variable object according to the ratio. The data processing apparatus displays whether the problem in the page relates to the master object or relates to the variable object every page having the problem.

Dependent claims

A data processing apparatus comprising:

an analyzing unit that analyzes data for outputting a document by synthesizing a common object which is common among a plurality of records and a variable object which can vary among the plurality of records;
an extracting unit that extracts the number of records in which a problem has occurred in a same page by using a result analyzed by the analyzing unit;
a predicting unit that predicts whether the problem has been caused by the common object or has been caused by the variable object by using the number of records extracted by the extracting unit;
and
an output unit that outputs a result predicted by the predicting unit.
