A print control device may include a control device configured to identify a data type of print target data obtained from a clipboard, generate print data based on the print target data in accordance with a print setting appropriate for the identified data type, and send the generated print data to a printing apparatus.
Claims24
A print control device, comprising:
- a control device configured to:
- determine whether there is data stored in a clipboard;
- in response to a determination that there is no data stored in the clipboard, provide a notification that there is no data to be printed and a first instruction describing how to store data in the clipboard;
- in response to a determination that there is data stored in the clipboard, obtain print target data stored in the clipboard;
- identify a data type of the print target data obtained from the clipboard;
- determine whether the print target data is to be printed based on the identified data type of the print target data;
- in response to determining that the print target data is to be printed, generate print data based on the print target data in accordance with a print setting appropriate for the identified data type of the print target data and send the generated print data to a printing apparatus;
- and
- in response to determining that the print target data is not to be printed, provide the notification that there is no data to be printed and a second instruction describing how to store data in the clipboard.

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a control device, causes the control device to:
- identify a data type of print target data obtained from a clipboard;
- generate print data based on the print target data in accordance with a print setting appropriate for the identified data type;
- send the generated print data to a printing apparatus;
- and
- provide a notification that there is no data to be printed and an instruction describing how to store data in the clipboard, in a first case when there is no data stored in the clipboard and in a second case when all data stored in the clipboard is not to be printed.

A print control device, comprising:
- a control device configured to:
- identify a data type of print target data obtained from a clipboard;
- generate print data based on the print target data in accordance with a print setting appropriate for the identified data type;
- and
- send the generated print data to a printing apparatus,
- wherein the data type is one of an image data type, text data type, and markup language data type, and
- wherein in response to an identification that the data type of the print target data is the image data type, the control device is configured to generate the print data with at least one of a higher resolution, higher definition, or more colors than in a case where the data type is identified as the text data type or markup language data type.
