An advertisement system has a printer and a posting server that can communicate with the printer. The advertisement system uses the printer to issue a flyer on which advertisement images are printed. The posting server acquires a plurality of advertisement images of different advertisers, and selects a plurality of advertisement images from the plurality of acquired advertisement images according to a distribution period for the flyer, the distribution period being set for each acquired advertisement image. The posting server then creates print data involved in printing the plurality of selected advertisement images, and transmits the created print data to the printer. The printer receives the print data created by the posting server. To issue the flyer, the printer executes printing according to the received print data.

Advertisement system and method of controlling advertisement system

An advertisement system includes a distribution member computer that causes a printer to print the test image data received from a posting server and transmits read data obtained by reading an image of a printed matter obtained by printing test image data by the printer to a posting server, and the posting server including an evaluation unit that evaluates printing quality of the printed matter based on the read data and a decision unit that determines whether to distribute the advertisement data to the distribution member computer based on an evaluation result by the evaluation unit.

A print data generating device generates print data printable by a printing device including a feeding unit which feeds continuous forms paper in a scanning direction, a line head which performs printing on the continuous forms paper, a cutting unit downstream of the line head in the scanning direction that cuts the continuous forms paper, and a direction change execution unit which executes direction change processing of changing the direction in which the print image is printed. The print direction of a print image is changed in such a way that that an area of overlap between the image arrangement area and the print area in the acceleration/deceleration zone becomes smaller when the image arrangement area and the print area in the acceleration/deceleration zone overlap with each other both in cases where the direction change processing is executed and where the direction change processing is not executed.

Print data generating device, printing device, print data generating method, and program

A print data generating device generates print data printable by a printing device including a feeding unit which feeds continuous forms paper in a scanning direction, a line head which performs print processing on the continuous forms paper fed in the scanning direction, a cutting unit downstream of the line head in the scanning direction that cuts the continuous forms paper, and a direction change execution which executes direction change processing of changing the direction in which the print image is printed by 180 degrees. The print direction of a print image is changed in such a way that an image arrangement area on the print image of the print data, and a print area where the print processing is carried out by the print head in a paper feed acceleration/deceleration zone at the time of cutting the print tape, do not overlap with each other.

A print data generating device generates print data printable by a tape printer including a feeding mechanism which feeds a print tape in a scanning direction, a print head which performs print processing on the print tape fed in the scanning direction, and a tape cutter which is arranged downstream of the print head in the scanning direction and cuts the print tape. In the print data generating device, a print direction of a print image is changed in such a way that an image arrangement area on the print image of the print data, and a print area where the print processing is carried out by the print head in a paper feed acceleration/deceleration zone at the time of cutting the print tape, do not overlap with each other.

A device system is configured to determine an access address for acquiring a control unit that controls the device according to property information of a mobile communication terminal, in response to a request from the mobile communication terminal connected to a network.

System and method for controlling a printing apparatus

To provide a solution by which adjustment of the depth display of the image can be easily carried out by the user at will in a technique for forming a 3-D image from plural images, from the plural feed images, one feed image is extracted as the reference feed image, with an object recognition process being carried out to extract the object region having the prescribed characteristic features. The reference feed image IL is displayed on the display unittogether with the markers MK indicating the object regions, and the user selects one object region. A region that is similar in image content with the selected region is detected from each other feed image, with the images being shifted so that the regions overlap each other.
