Abstract
An information processing device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires set values of chapters representing units into which an entire job is arbitrarily divided; an image generation unit that generates a setting image including the acquired set values of the chapters as one of options of a print setting; a display control unit that performs control to display the generated setting image on a display unit; and a ticket generation unit that generates a job ticket including a designated print setting based on the setting image displayed on the display unit.
Claims12
An information processing device comprising a processor that implements:
- an acquisition unit that acquires set values of chapters representing units into which an entire job is arbitrarily divided;
- an image generation unit that generates a print setting menu for a user to define print settings for individual pages of the job, wherein the generated print setting menu includes options for defining print settings for designated chapters based on the set values, wherein the print settings designate locations for placing insertion pages within the job;
- a display control unit that performs control to display the generated print setting menu on a display unit;
- and
- a ticket generation unit that generates a job ticket designating print settings based on user input applied to the print setting menu displayed on the display unit.
A print setting method executable by a processor, the method comprising:
- acquiring set values of chapters representing units into which an entire job is arbitrarily divided;
- generating a print setting menu for a user to define print settings for individual pages of the job, wherein the generated menu includes options for defining print settings on a chapter-by-chapter basis based on the set values, wherein the print settings designate locations for placing insertion pages within the job;
- performing control to display the generated print setting menu on a display unit;
- and
- generating a job ticket designating print settings based on user input applied to the print setting menu displayed on the display unit;
- and
- transmitting the job ticket to a control device for processing a print job.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing an information processing program, the program causing a computer to perform:
- acquiring set values of chapters representing units into which an entire job is arbitrarily divided;
- generating a print setting menu for a user to define print settings for individual pages of the job, wherein the generated menu includes options for defining print settings on a chapter-by-chapter basis based on the set values, wherein the print settings designate locations for placing insertion pages within the job;
- performing control to display the generated print setting menu on a display unit;
- and
- generating a job ticket designating print settings based on user input applied to the print setting menu displayed on the display unit.
