Print data generation device, print data generation method, and program

A print data generation method, comprising:

• acquiring print object data in which field information that is an object to be printed is expressed in a matrix by a first axis indicating a plurality of records that are objects to be printed and a second axis indicating columns of a plurality of classes of the objects to be printed;
• acquiring printing position information in which class information indicating classes of field information that correspond to the columns is associated with position information indicating printing positions of field information that correspond to the columns;
• generating, based on the printing position information, print data for printing the field information included in the print object data at the printing positions associated with the classes of the field information;
• and
• outputting the generated print data to a printing apparatus.

A program for causing a computer to:

• acquire print object data in which field information that is an object to be printed is expressed in a matrix by a first axis indicating a plurality of records that are objects to be printed and a second axis indicating columns of a plurality of classes of the objects to be printed;
• acquire printing position information in which class information indicating classes of field information that correspond to the columns is associated with position information indicating printing positions of field information that correspond to the columns;
• generate, based on the printing position information, print data for printing the field information included in the print object data at the printing positions associated with the classes of the field information;
• and
• output the generated print data to a printing apparatus.
