Image processing device

An image processing method comprising:

• acquiring print data, the print data including a plurality of sets of text data, each set of text data having character data and color data;
• calculating, for each set of color data, an appearance ratio at which a subject set of color data appears in the print data;
• determining the color data having a highest appearance ratio among a plurality of appearance ratios of a plurality of sets of color data as first color data;
• determining the color data except for the first color data as second color data;
• appending first attribute data to the character data included in the text data having the first color data;
• appending second attribute data to the character data included in the text data having the second color data;
• and
• converting a plurality of sets of character data into binary data, based on one of the first attribute data and the second attribute data which is appended to the subject set of character data.

A non-transitory, computer-readable recording medium that stores an image data processing program, the data processing program comprising instructions for:

• acquiring print data, the print data including a plurality of sets of text data, each set of text data having character data and color data;
• calculating, for each set of color data, an appearance ratio at which a subject set of color data appears in the print data;
• determining the color data having a highest appearance ratio among a plurality of appearance ratios of a plurality of sets of color data as first color data;
• determining the color data except for the first color data as second color data;
• appending first attribute data to the character data included in the text data having the first color data;
• appending second attribute data to the character data included in the text data having the second color data;
• and
• converting a plurality of sets of character data into binary data, based on one of the first attribute data and the second attribute data which is appended to the subject set of character data.

An image processing system comprising:

• a printing device that prints characters based on binary data;
• and
• an image processing device, the image processing device comprising:
• an acquiring unit that acquires print data, the print data including a plurality of sets of text data, each set of text data having character data and color data;
• a calculating unit that calculates, for each set of color data, an appearance ratio at which a subject set of color data appears in the print data;
• a color data determining unit that determines the color data having a highest appearance ratio among a plurality of appearance ratios of a plurality of sets of color data as first color data, and determines the color data except for the first color data as second color data;
• an appending unit that appends first attribute data to the character data included in the text data having the first color data, and appends second attribute data to the character data included in the text data having the second color data;
• and
• a converting unit that converts a plurality of sets of character data into the binary data, based on one of the first attribute data and the second attribute data which is appended to the subject set of character data;
• a transmitting unit that transmits the binary data to the printing device.
