A PC that is communicatable with a server device. The PC includes: a PC memory storing a first application; and a PC processor. The PC processor functions as, by executing the first application, a registration unit configured to register a printer, a generation unit configured to automatically generate, for the printer registered by the registration unit, a hot folder for storing a print job transmitted from the server device, and a notification unit configured to notify the server device of path information indicating a folder path of the hot folder generated by the generation unit.

Information processing device, control method for information processing device, and program for generating and managing hot folder

A printing apparatus capable of continuously printing images on a recording medium, each of the images including a variable image of which an aspect is variable for each of the images to be continuously printed and a fixed image of which an aspect is the same for each of the images to be continuously printed, the printing apparatus includes a storage unit that associates and stores therein image data of the fixed image and a template having at least information about a position of printing an image, and a printing control unit that, when a control command which includes information for designating the template and instructs a printing of the variable image is input, superimposes the variable image and the fixed image associated with the designated template, on the basis of the template and print the superimposed image.

Printing apparatus, printing control system and control method of the printing apparatus

A control device includes a recording control unit, a detection unit, a port selection unit and a communication control unit. The recording control unit configures a logical port for data communication according to an interface standard. The detection unit detects a recording device wirelessly communicable with the control device. The port selection unit links a virtual port corresponding to the detected recording device with the logical port. The communication control unit opens the virtual port linked to the logical port and the recording device for wireless data communication with the recording device according to a wireless communication standard.

Control device, for communicating wirelessly with a recording device, a control method, and recording medium

The effort required to develop a device object is reduced. A host computerhas objects including a printer COthat provides a POS application programwith an interface for each type of device, and a printer SOthat provides the printer COwith an interface to each device type and executes a process by device unit. A wrapper SOexecutes the process instead of the printer SOwhen at least one of the methods called by the printer COis called, and then calls a method of the printer SObased on the result of the executed process. When the printer COcalls other methods, the wrapper SOcalls the printer SOmethod.

Complicating programs installed on a control device, and wasting recording media, are suppressed. A registration device driver that generates and outputs control commands instructing registering a static image in an inkjet printer based on input of information related to a static image from an application AP, and a device control driver that generates and outputs a control command to print the static image registered in the inkjet printer superimposed with the variable image based on input of information related to the variable image from an application, are installed on a host computer. An application calls the device driver appropriate to the process.
