Abstract
A printing control apparatus according to one aspect of this invention controls to print images on sheets based on image data of a plurality of pages, generate a bookbinding product by executing folding processing for the image-printed sheets, and output the bookbinding product. The printing control apparatus further accepts the position of an insertion sheet to be inserted into the sheets for which the folding processing is executed, and controls to output a plurality of bookbinding products by using, as a reference, the accepted position of the insertion sheet.
Claims20
An image processing apparatus which is capable of generating a book product by folding at least one sheet, comprising:
- a printing unit configured to print N pages of images onto a plurality of sheets, such that K (K<N) pages of images are printed on each of the plurality of sheets in total including both sides;
- and
- a control unit configured to control such that at least one sheet on which from 1st page to Mth (1<M<N, M is an integral multiplication of K) page of images are printed and at least one sheet on which from (M+1)th page to Nth page of images are printed are folded individually, based on that insertion of an additional sheet between the Mth page and the (M+1)th page is set.
An image processing apparatus which is capable of generating a book product by folding at least one sheet, comprising:
- a printing unit configured to print N pages of images onto a plurality of sheets, such that K pages of images are printed on each side of each of the plurality of sheets;
- and
- a control unit configured to control such that at least one sheet on which pages of a number corresponding to a remainder obtained when a product of M (1<M<N, M is an integral multiplication of K) and 2 is divided by N are printed, and at least one sheet on which remaining pages are printed are folded individually, based on that insertion of an additional sheet between the Mth page and the (M+1)th page is set.
An image processing apparatus which is capable of generating a book product by folding at least one sheet, comprising:
- a printing unit configured to print N pages of images onto a plurality of sheets, such that K (K<N) pages of images are printed on each of the plurality of sheets in total including both sides;
- and
- a control unit configured to control such that at least one sheet on which from 1st page to Mth (1<M<N, M is an integral multiplication of K) page of images are printed and at least one sheet on which from (M+1)th page to Nth page of images are printed are folded individually, based on that insertion of an additional sheet a size of which is half of a size of the sheet on which images are printed between the Mth page and the (M+1)th page is set, and to control such that at least one sheet on which pages of a number corresponding to a remainder obtained when a product of M (1<M<N, M is an integral multiplication of K) and 2 is divided by N are printed, and at least one sheet on which remaining pages are printed are folded individually, based on that insertion of an additional sheet a size of which is same as a size of the sheet on which images are printed between the Mth page and the (M+1)th page is set.
