Print controlling apparatus, print controlling method, computer program and recording medium

A print controlling method of an apparatus that controls a printing device, wherein the printing device outputs as one document a mixture of a first print paper that is not to be folded and a second print paper that is to be folded into a predetermined form, and wherein the first print paper and the second print paper are different in size from each other, said method comprising:

• an input step for inputting information representing a presence/absence of a fold designation by an operator;
• a producing step for producing print data by adding additional information to information to be printed;
• and
• a control step for controlling a print position of the additional information on a print image corresponding to the print data produced in said producing step, based on the presence/absence of the fold designation inputted in said input step,
• wherein said control step includes controlling the print position to be different for the first print paper in comparison with the second print paper, such that the additional information on the second print paper, which is folded, is recognizable at a glance without opening the folded second print paper, as is the additional information on the first print paper, which is not folded.

A print controlling program stored in a storage medium and executed by a computer of an information processing apparatus that controls a printing device, wherein the printing device outputs as one document a mixture of a first print paper that is not to be folded and a second print paper that is to be folded into a predetermined form, and wherein the first print paper and the second print paper are different in size from each other, said print controlling program comprising:

• code for an input step for inputting information representing a presence/absence of a fold designation by an operator;
• code for a producing step for producing print data by adding additional information to information to be printed;
• and
• code for a control step for controlling a print position of the additional information on a print image corresponding to the print data produced in said producing step, based on the presence/absence of the fold designation inputted in said input step,
• wherein said control step includes controlling the print position to be different for the first print paper in comparison with the second print paper, such that the additional information on the second print paper, which is folded, is recognizable at a glance without opening the folded second print paper, as is the additional information on the first print paper, which is not folded.

A print controlling method of an apparatus that controls a printing device, wherein the printing device outputs as one document a mixture of a first print paper that is not to be folded and a second print paper that is to be folded into a predetermined form, wherein the first print paper and the second print paper are different in size from each other, and wherein instructions for a fold designation is sent by a printer driver to the printing device, said method comprising:

• an input step for inputting information representing a presence/absence of the fold designation by an operator from a graphical user interface (GUI) of the printer driver;
• a producing step for producing print data by adding additional information to information to be printed;
• and
• a control step for controlling a print position of the additional information on a print image corresponding to the print data produced in said producing step, based on the presence/absence of the fold designation inputted in said input step,
