An information processing device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires set values of chapters representing units into which an entire job is arbitrarily divided; an image generation unit that generates a setting image including the acquired set values of the chapters as one of options of a print setting; a display control unit that performs control to display the generated setting image on a display unit; and a ticket generation unit that generates a job ticket including a designated print setting based on the setting image displayed on the display unit.

Information processing device, setting method, and computer program product

An information processing apparatus is connected to a print control apparatus for generating image data. The information processing apparatus includes a generating unit configured to generate gloss control plate data for specifying a type of a surface effect imparted to a recording medium and a region in the recording medium to which the surface effect is imparted; and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the gloss control plate data to the print control apparatus.

Information processing apparatus, method, and storage medium for generating image data specifying a type of surface effect

A information processing unit includes: a control unit configured to control operation processing of individual units through a user interface; a print set value storage unit configured to store a print set value that is set by operation of an operation unit on a basic setting screen displayed on a display unit on which setting relating to the color printing is performed at a basic level and a print detail set value that is set by operation of the operation unit on a detail setting screen as another dialog on which the setting is performed at a detail level under operation control of the control unit; and a print data creating unit configured to create print data of the color printing based on the print set value and the print detail set value under operation control of the control unit.

Information processing unit, printing control method for printer driver, and computer program product

An information processing apparatus for generating plate data used to generate image data in an image processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes a designating unit configured to designate a rendering object; a surface-effect receiving unit configured to receive a type of a surface effect imparted to the rendering object; a plate data generating unit configured to generate the plate data so that the type of the surface effect is imparted to a region in which the rendering object is to be rendered in a recording medium and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the plate data to the print processing apparatus.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

In a printer driver, combinations of standard print conditions and standard render data are saved as standard patterns, and combinations of standard print conditions and standard render data used for exceptional settings are saved as print application patterns. The print application patterns and the standard patterns are associated with each other. When printing document data, print condition data and render data are spooled by each page, the standard print conditions and the standard render data are compared, and a most similar standard pattern is detected. The print application pattern corresponding to the detected standard pattern is referred to, and print conditions are generated by combining standard print conditions and print conditions of the document data for each page. From the render data of the document data or from the standard render data, print data that can be processed by the printer is generated.
