## Abstract

A computer-readable storage medium stores a program for causing a computer to execute a process. The process includes: a data generation step of, in response to a command to perform replacement printing of original data, generating, based on the original data, print target data to be printed on a sheet and save data to be transmitted to a data saving server connected via a network; a save-data transmission step of transmitting the save data generated in the data generation step to the data saving server, and acquiring address information indicating a save location of the save data saved in the data saving server; and a data print step of generating print data by adding the address information acquired in the save-data transmission step to the print target data and driving a printing machine to print the print data as generated.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:
a data generation step of, in response to a command to perform replacement printing of original data, generating, based on the original data, print target data to be printed on a sheet and save data to be transmitted to a data saving server connected via a network;
a save-data transmission step of transmitting the save data generated in the data generation step to the data saving server, and acquiring address information indicating a save location of the save data saved in the data saving server; and
a data print step of generating print data by adding the address information acquired in the save-data transmission step to the print target data and driving a printing machine to print the print data as generated.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1, wherein
the original data contains color object data, and
the data generation step comprises, if the command to perform the replacement printing includes black-and-white conversion of the original data, generating, as the print target data, black-and-white data of the original data by performing black-and-white conversion on the color object data, and generating the original data as the save data.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1, wherein
the original data contains detailed data indicating details and outline data indicating an outline of the detailed data, and
the data generation step comprises, if the command to perform the replacement printing includes omission of details of the original data, generating the outline data of the original data as the print target data and generating the detailed data of the original data as the save data.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1, wherein the data generation step comprises, if the command to perform the replacement printing includes imposition of the original data, generating imposition data as the print target data by performing imposition processing on the original data and generating the original data as the save data.

### Claim 5

A replacement printing control apparatus comprising:
a processor;
a computer-readable storage medium storing a program executed by the processor;
a data generation unit implemented when the processor executes the program and configured to, in response to a command to perform replacement printing of original data, generate, based on the original data, print target data to be printed on a sheet and save data to be transmitted to a data saving server connected via a network;
a save-data transmission unit implemented when the processor executes the program and configured to transmit the save data generated by the data generation unit to the data saving server and to acquire address information indicating a save location of the save data saved in the data saving server; and
a data print unit implemented when the processor executes the program and configured to generate print data by adding the address information acquired by the save-data transmission unit to the print target data and to drive a printing machine to print the print data as generated.

### Claim 6

A replacement printing control method comprising:
a data generation step of, by a processor, in response to a command to perform replacement printing of original data, generating, based on the original data, print target data to be printed on a sheet and save data to be transmitted to a data saving server connected via a network;
a save-data transmission step of, by the processor, transmitting the save data generated in the data generation step to the data saving server, and acquiring address information indicating a save location of the save data saved in the data saving server; and
a data print step of, by the processor, generating print data by adding the address information acquired in the save-data transmission step to the print target data and driving a printing machine to print the print data as generated.
