Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an output image forming unit that forms an output image from an image-repeat image which is obtained by arranging a plurality of input images on one recording medium based on predetermined repeat conditions, a preview image generating unit that generates reduced images of the input images, sets arrangement positions of the reduced images based on the repeat conditions, and arranges the reduced images in the arrangement positions in accordance with the repeat conditions, thereby generating a preview image, and a display unit that displays the preview image generated by the preview image generating unit.
Claims7
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an output image forming unit that forms an output image from an image-repeat image which is obtained by arranging a plurality of input images on one recording medium based on predetermined repeat conditions;
- a preview image generating unit that generates reduced images of the input images, sets arrangement positions of the reduced images based on the repeat conditions, and arranges the reduced images in the arrangement positions in accordance with the repeat conditions, thereby generating a preview image;
- and
- a display unit that displays the preview image generated by the preview image generating unit.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an image-repeat image generating unit that generates an image-repeat image by arranging a plurality of input images in a printing image area such that the input images are located close to each other but do not overlap with each other, and forms the image-repeat image on one recording medium based on predetermined printing conditions;
- a preview image generating unit that generates a preview image by generating reduced images of the input images, and arranging the reduced images in a preview image area such that the reduced images are located close to each other but do not overlap with each other based on the printing conditions;
- and
- a display unit that displays the preview image generated by the preview image generating unit.
