Abstract
There is provided a printing apparatus. The printing apparatus includes: a memory storing a program; and at least one hardware processor configured to execute a process in the program. The process includes: performing pre-printing of overprinting which is an operation of performing pre-printing on a medium and then performing post-printing on the medium; and printing a chart asymmetric with respect to rotation toward a direction of the medium on the medium during test printing related to the pre-printing.
Claims20
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a memory storing a program;
- and
- at least one hardware processor configured to execute a process in the program, the process comprising:
- performing pre-printing of overprinting which is an operation of performing pre-printing on a medium and then performing post-printing on the medium;
- and
- printing a chart asymmetric with respect to rotation toward a direction of the medium on the medium during test printing related to the pre-printing, the chart including one or more marks indicating the direction of the medium.
(canceled)
A printing system for performing overprinting which is an operation of performing pre-printing on a medium and then performing post-printing on the medium, comprising:
- a first printing unit that prints a first chart asymmetric with respect to rotation toward a direction of the medium on the medium during test printing related to the pre-printing, the first chart including a first mark indicating the direction of the pre-printing;
- a second printing unit that prints a second chart on the medium having the first chart printed on the medium during test printing related to the post-printing, the second chart including a second mark indicating the direction of the post-printing;
- a reading unit that reads image data of the first chart and the second chart printed on the medium;
- and
- a determining unit that determines whether directions of the pre-printing and the post-printing are correct, from the image data read by the reading unit, by comparing the first mark and the second mark included in the image data.
(canceled)
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for printing, the process comprising:
- controlling a printing engine such that the printing engine performs pre-printing of overprinting which is an operation of performing pre-printing on a medium and then performing post-printing on the medium;
- and
- controlling the printing engine such that the printing engine prints a chart asymmetric with respect to rotation toward a direction of the medium on the medium during test printing related to the pre-printing, the chart including one or more marks indicating the direction of the medium.
