Abstract
A printing control method for printing an image onto a recording medium including inputting data to be used for printing a page, setting a position and a size of a margin for a plurality of pages represented by the input data, according to an instruction from a user, and causing a print device to print an image including the plurality of pages and in which the binding margin with the set width is arranged at the set position, onto the recording medium in a direction determined according to the width of the margin.
Claims25
A method performed by at least one processor comprising:
- inputting data to be used for printing a page;
- designating a folding pattern of folding of a recording medium on which a plurality of pages corresponding to the input data are printed, according to an instruction by a user;
- setting, in a margin setting, whether or not a margin is added to each of the plurality of pages, according to an instruction by the user;
- and
- causing a print device to print a print image in which each of the plurality of pages is arranged with a page direction corresponding to the designated folding pattern, onto the recording medium,
- wherein, in a case where a predetermined folding pattern is designated and a setting of adding the margin corresponding to the margin setting is executed in the setting, the print image in which a top-bottom direction of a first page becomes opposite to a top-bottom direction of a second page and the margin is added on a top side of each of the first page and the second page, is printed.
An apparatus for printing an image onto a recording medium comprising:
- an input unit configured to input data to be used for printing a page;
- a designating unit configured to designate a folding pattern of folding of a recording medium on which a plurality of pages corresponding to the input data are printed, according to an instruction by a user;
- a setting unit configured to set, in a margin setting, whether or not a margin is added to each of the plurality of pages, according to an instruction by the user;
- and
- a printing control unit configured to cause a print device to print a print image in which each of the plurality of pages is arranged with a page direction corresponding to the designated folding pattern, onto the recording medium,
- wherein, in a case where a predetermined folding pattern is designated and a setting of adding the margin corresponding to the margin setting is executed in the setting, the print image in which a top-bottom direction of a first page becomes opposite to a top-bottom direction of a second page and the margin is added on a top side of each of the first page and the second page is printed.
