Print data generating device and non-transitory recording medium for generating print data of a print image continuing on one or more pages so that electronic image data of the print image is readily and reliably obtained from the print image

A non-transitory recording medium storing instructions that, if executed, causes an apparatus to:

• retrieve image data of an original image comprising a plurality of segments;
• generate, based on the image data of the original image, data of a plurality of bar codes, each of the plurality of bar codes storing a corresponding one of the plurality of segments of the original image, and an area occupied by each of the plurality of bar codes being smaller than an area occupied by the corresponding one of the plurality of segments of the original image:
• and
• generate, based on the image data of the original image and the data of the plurality of bar codes, print data of a print image that includes the plurality of bar codes arranged collectively on one page and the original image arranged on one or more pages,
• wherein the one page on which the plurality of bar codes is arranged is different from the one or more pages on which the original image is arranged.

A print data generating device comprising:

• a controller configured to:
• retrieve image data of an original image comprising a plurality of segments;
• generate, based on the image data of the original image, data of a plurality of bar codes, each of the plurality of bar codes storing a corresponding one of the plurality of segments of the original image, and an area occupied by each of the plurality of bar codes being smaller than an area occupied by the corresponding one of the plurality of segments of the original image;
• and
• generate, based on the image data of the original image and the data of the plurality of bar codes, print data of a print image that includes the plurality of bar codes arranged collectively on one page and the original image arranged on one or more pages,
• wherein the one page on which the plurality of bar codes is arranged is one of a first page and a last page in a sequence of pages, and one of the plurality of segments of the original image is placed on the one of the first page and the last page.
