Abstract
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.
