Abstract
According to aspects of the present disclosure, when a print instruction is input from an editing application to a general-use printing program, and image data included in the print instruction contains barcode information indicating a barcode, a support program corresponding to a printer generates substitute image. The substitute image is generated by the general-use printing program and substitutes for an image of the barcode.
Claims16
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for an information processing apparatus configured to connect to a printer, a general-use printing program being incorporated in an operating system of the information processing apparatus, the recording medium containing computer-executable instructions realizing a support program corresponding to the printer, the instructions causing, when executed by a controller of the information processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus to perform:
- in response to a print instruction instructing the printer to print an image being made with respect to the general-use printing program, determining whether information indicating a barcode is included in image data representing the image subjected to print by the print instruction;
- and
- in response to determination that the information indicating the barcode is included in the image data in the determining, generating particular data causing the printer to print a substitute image substituting for the image of the barcode generable by the general-use printing program.
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a storage storing an operating system of the information processing apparatus, a general-use printing program being incorporated in the operating system;
- a controller,
- wherein a support program corresponding to a printer to be connected to the information processing apparatus is implemented in the information processing apparatus,
- wherein the controller is configured to execute the support program to perform:
- in response to a print instruction instructing the general-use printing program to cause the printer to print an image being made, determining whether information indicating a barcode is included in image data representing the image subjected to print by the print instruction;
- and
- in response to determination that the information indicating the barcode is included in the image data in the determining, generating particular data causing the printer to print a substitute image substituting for the image of the barcode generable by the general-use printing program.
A printing method for an information processing apparatus having a storage storing an operating system of the information processing apparatus, a general-use printing program being incorporated in the operating system, and a support program corresponding to a printer to be connected to the information processing apparatus being implemented in the information processing apparatus,
- wherein the method comprising:
- in response to a print instruction instructing the general-use printing program to cause the printer to print an image being made, determining whether information indicating a barcode is included in image data representing the image subjected to print by the print instruction;
- and
- in response to determination that the information indicating the barcode is included in the image data in the determining, generating particular data causing the printer to print a substitute image substituting for the image of the barcode generable by the general-use printing program.
