Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a communication interface unit to receives an XML paper specification (XPS) file, an XPS file processing unit which converts the XPS file into an output data corresponding to printing paper to print the XPS file using information regarding the height and width of a FixedPage in the XPS file, and a control unit which controls the image forming apparatus to print the output data. Accordingly, even when an XPS file does not include information regarding printing paper, a user can select and print printing paper suitable for the user's demand.
Claims20
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a communication interface unit to receive an XML paper specification (XPS) file;
- an XPS file processing unit to convert the XPS file into an output data corresponding to printing paper to print the XPS file based on information regarding the height and width of a FixedPage in the XPS file;
- and
- a control unit to control the image forming apparatus to print the output data;
- wherein the XPS file processing unit adjusts the received file based on the information of the height and width of the FixedPage in the XPS file to fit on a corresponding printing paper.
An image forming method of an image forming apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving an XML paper specification (XPS) file;
- determining if a printing paper option is set for the XPS file;
- when the printing paper option is not set for the XPS file, searching for printing paper to print the XPS file based on the information regarding the height and width of a FixedPage in the XPS file;
- adjusting the received file based on the information of the height and width of the FixedPage in the XPS file to fit on a corresponding printing paper;
- and
- printing the XPS file to correspond to the searched printing paper.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processing unit to convert an XML paper specification (XPS) file into output data corresponding to printing paper based on information regarding a height and width of a FixedPage in the XPS file;
- and
- a communication unit to transmit the output data to an image forming apparatus for printing,
- wherein the processing unit further comprises:
- a determination unit to determine whether a printing paper option is set in the XPS file;
- a search unit to select the printing paper based on height and width information included in the FixedPage when no printing paper option is set in the XPS file;
- and
- a data conversion unit to convert the XPS file into the output data based on the printing paper;
- wherein the data conversion unit adjusts the received file based on the information of the height and width of the FixedPage in the XPS file to fit on a corresponding printing paper.
