An image forming apparatus that prevents, when reducing variation in thickness of thin lines, the legibility of the thin lines from being adversely affected thereby. When print data is acquired, in a rendering process for printing based on the acquired print data, the rendering process including a line width adjustment process is executed. In a case where the line width adjustment process is executed on the print data, not only the line width adjustment process but also a process for thickening thin lines is executed.

Image forming apparatus capable of executing line width adjustment process, method of controlling same, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus to communicate with an external apparatus includes a reception unit, an execution unit, a setting unit, and a determination unit. The reception unit receives data described in Postscript&#xae; from the external apparatus. The execution unit executes processing based on a command described in the data received by the reception unit. The setting unit performs a predetermined setting regarding execution of the processing. The determination unit determines, in a case where the reception unit receives data in which a command associated with a superexec operator is described, whether the execution unit executes the processing based on the command using the predetermined setting.

A mobile terminal can set a user credential used to log into an image processing apparatus and transmit print data to the image processing apparatus. The mobile terminal displays a screen that receives a print setting with respect to the print data to be transmitted. The mobile terminal also displays, in response to receipt of a user instruction to display a screen configured to receive a setting of authentication information, as a screen that receives the print setting, the screen configured to receive the setting of the authentication information to be added to the print data and on which the user credential used to log in is reflected.

Print data in a predetermined format including information for specifying the type of binding and print data in a predetermined format excluding the information for specifying the type of binding are adequately handled, wherein on the basis of reception of print data in a predetermined format including information for specifying the type of binding, control is exerted in such a manner that binding of the specified type is performed on printed matter, and on the basis of reception of print data in a predetermined format excluding the information for specified the type of binding, control is exerted in such a manner that binding of a predetermined type is performed on printed matter.

Image forming apparatus and image forming system having binding unit capable of performing binding, and control method for the binding unit

An image processing apparatus capable of suppressing the occurrence of a density gap within the same object due to smoothing processing, and a storage medium are provided. An image processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a determination unit configured to determine whether or not a drawing command for an object is a gradation drawing command by analyzing data described in a page description language. Further, the image processing apparatus includes a control unit configured to apply image processing to an edge portion of the object in a case where the determination unit determines that the drawing command for the object is not a gradation drawing command, and to suppress image processing for the edge portion of the object in a case where the determination unit determines that the drawing command for the object is a gradation drawing command.

Image processing apparatus configured to perform smoothing based on analysis of PDL data, and storage medium storing program therefor

When test print is performed for printing an image on a transparent sheet, an inexpensive sheet is used instead of the transparent sheet. A method for controlling a printing apparatus includes receiving a setting of the test print, and performing control to print the image as a mirror image on a second side of the transparent sheet if the setting of the test print is not received, and performing control to feed an alternative sheet instead of the transparent sheet to print the image as a normal image on a first side of the alternative sheet if the setting of the test print is received.

Printing apparatus, method for controlling printing apparatus, and storage medium for test printing

A printing system that is capable of producing a bookbound matter with good appearance when producing the bookbound matter by covering a first sheet bundle with a second sheet bundle. A determination unit determines whether it is specified so that images are printed on sheets of first and second sheet bundles in page order in which a bookbound matter is produced by covering the second sheet bundle folded by the first sheet bundle folded. A control unit controls so as to cut the first sheet bundle at a first position and to cut the second sheet bundle at a second position that is different from the first position, when the determination unit determines to be specified.

Printing system, control method therefor, and storage medium storing control program therefor

Prior to image output of output information, printing information is analyzed and an important inspection processing item regarding inspection to be performed on the image output, and an inspection point, are selected. Inspection instruction information including the important inspection processing item and the inspection point that have been selected is generated for inspection of the output results which are image-output. The generated inspection instruction information is then output.

Image forming apparatus and method thereof

An information processing apparatus selects attribute information in a predetermined layer based on a result of measurement of the number of appearances of attribute information included in print data, determines a priority order of the attribute information based on the number of times of references to a reusable object from a page corresponding to a record that includes the selected attribute information, serially selects attribute information based on the determined priority order, generates intermediate data for a page corresponding to the selected attribute information, and generates image data by rasterizing the generated intermediate data.

Information processing apparatus, information processing apparatus control method, and storage medium

When transmitting a document file stored in a box of a device such as an information processing device to an image processing device via a network, reduction in transfer time of a document file is aimed at. The image processing device has a unit for reading a document and for generating original image data, and a unit for inputting transfer size information of a bitmap. The image processing device transmits the transfer size information in addition to a data transfer request of the document file to another device in accordance with document file information including data about the document from at least part of an area of the original image data. The image processing device extracts at least part of the original image data in accordance with metadata contained in the document file received, and converts the original image data extracted to vector data.

Image processing device

An output control apparatus controls an output unit to output an image based on output data. The output unit provides a condition change signal indicating a predetermined condition change thereof. The apparatus includes detection means for detecting the condition change signal provided by the output unit, and transmission means for transmitting information on the predetermined condition change to an external apparatus in response to the detection means detecting the condition change signal.
