Abstract
A disclosed print manager server includes one or more processors and a memory configured to store a print management program. The processors execute the print management program to perform a process including analyzing an attribute of print data introduced, predicting a page of a preview image to be generated based on the analyzed attribute, a preview history of previous print jobs, and a preview prediction condition, generating the preview image of the predicted page, and providing the generated preview image in response to a request to display a preview.
Claims9
A print manager server comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory configured to store a print management program, wherein the processors execute the print management program to perform a process including:
- analyzing an attribute of print data introduced;
- predicting a page of a preview image to be generated based on the analyzed attribute, a history of a corresponding page in previous print jobs having been previewed, and a preview prediction condition;
- generating the preview image of the predicted page;
- and
- providing the generated preview image in response to a request to display a preview.
A print management method executed by a computer having one or more processors, the print management method comprising:
- analyzing, by the processors, an attribute of print data introduced;
- predicting, by the processors, a page of a preview image to be generated based on the analyzed attribute, a history of a corresponding page in previous print jobs having been previewed, and a preview prediction condition;
- generating, by the processors, the preview image of the predicted page;
- and
- providing, by the processors, the generated preview image in response to a request to display a preview.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing therein a print management program that causes a computer having one or more processors to execute a process, the process comprising:
- analyzing, by the processors, an attribute of print data introduced;
- predicting, by the processors, a page of a preview image to be generated based on the analyzed attribute, a history of a corresponding page in previous print jobs having been previewed, and a preview prediction condition;
- generating, by the processors, the preview image of the predicted page;
- and
- providing, by the processors, the already generated preview image in response to a request to display a preview.
