Abstract
Even when a binding process for binding a plurality of sheets without using a staple is performed after performing printing on both faces of the sheets, the binding process can be performed so that the bound sheets are not easily separated. A control method for controlling a printing apparatus, comprises: performing a binding process for binding, without using a staple, a sheet on which an image is printed based on image data; specifying an area where the binding process is to be performed, the area being included in the image data; deleting image data of the specified area; and printing the image on the sheet based on the image data on which deleting is performed.
Claims15
A print control apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the print control apparatus:
- to determine whether a first binding process without using a staple or a second binding process with a staple has been specified;
- and
- to perform a data process for preventing a part of an image related to print data to be printed from being printed on a sheet, based on a determination that the first binding process has been specified, wherein the part of an image corresponds to at least a position where the first binding process is to be performed;
- not to perform the data process to print data based on a determination that the second binding process has been specified, and
- to control a print unit so that the print unit performs a printing process to the sheet based on the image data on which the data process has been performed in a case that the first binding process has been specified.
A print control method comprising:
- determining whether a first binding process without using a staple or a second binding process with a staple has been specified;
- and
- performing a data process for preventing a part of an image related to print data to be printed from being printed on a sheet, based on a determination that the first binding process has been specified, wherein the part of an image corresponds to at least a position where the first binding process is to be performed;
- and
- not performing the data process to print data based on a determination that the second binding process has been specified, and
- controlling a print unit so that the print unit performs a printing process to the sheet based on the image data on which the data process has been performed in a case that the first binding process has been specified.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to perform a print control method, the method comprising:
- determining whether a first binding process without using a staple or a second binding process with a staple has been specified;
- and
- performing a data process for preventing a part of an image related to print data to be printed from being printed on a sheet, based on a determination that the first binding process has been specified, wherein the part of an image corresponds to at least a position where the first binding process is to be performed;
- not performing the data process to print data based on a determination that the second binding process has been specified, and
- controlling a print unit so that the print unit performs a printing process to the sheet based on the image data on which the data process has been performed in a case that the first binding process has been specified.
