Disclosed are various embodiments for selecting page layouts based upon an outcome prediction associated with a request for a content page. Session variables associated with a request can be extracted. A score can be calculated based upon the session variables. The score can be generated by a machine learning engine that is trained using archived session data. A page layout can be selected based upon the generated score and a respective content page generated.

Generating a page layout based upon analysis of session variables with respect to a client device

Disclosed are various embodiments for identifying a best or most effective image associated with an item. A user interface is generated that includes the item as well as one of a plurality of images associated with the item. Interactions associated with the item are monitored and an image score is adjusted based upon whether these interactions are positive are negative. The process can be repeated over a large sample size. A highest scored image is designated as the most effective image at achieving a particular result.

Identifying effective images associated with items

A print system includes a first printer and a print data output device that is communicably connected to the first printer. The print data output device is adapted to output to the first printer print data generated based on internal print data generated by any of a plurality of programs. The print data output device includes a second printer-retained information storage unit. The second printer-retained information storage unit obtains and stores the second printer-retained information that is stored in the second printer. The print data output device includes an intermediate data generation section that generates raster image data based on the internal print data and the second printer-retained information. The print data output device includes a print data generation unit that generates the print data used for causing the first printer to form an image based on the raster image data on an image recording medium. The print data output device is installed in a host computer by a method or a computer-readable program product. The method, or computer-readable program product causes the computer to execute, steps include installing a print data output program. The print data output program converts print data for causing a printer to be replaced to perform printing into print data for causing a replacement printer to perform printing.

Print system

A method is for setting configuration data to a print data supplying device. The print data supplying device is operable to: store data associated with at least one of a plurality of items of group information in a first storage area; generate print data based on: (1) internal print data generated by an internal print data generation program; and (2) configuration data associated with one of the items of group information corresponding to a printer to which the print data is supplied; and supply the print data to the printer. The method includes: determining whether or not a target printer is connected; generating a new item of group information corresponding to the target printer when the target printer is connected; and storing reference configuration data that is stored in a second storage area to the first storage area, as the configuration data, in association with the new item of the group information.

Method for setting configuration data

A print system includes: a printer; and a print data supplying device. The print data supplying device includes: a print data supplying unit that supplies the printer with a print data; an internal print data condition storage unit that stores a plurality of internal print data conditions in association with the respective print data generation processing operations, the internal print data conditions pertaining to the internal print data; a determination unit that determines whether or not the internal print data satisfies any one of the internal print data conditions; and a print data generation unit that generates the print data by performing one of a plurality of print data generation processing operations, in accordance with internal print data that is output as a result of a data processing operation, and in accordance with the result of the determination made by the determination unit.
