Abstract

The printer obtains template data from an application. Further, the printer drive obtains image data of a composition image from a scanner or a folder stored in a data storage area. The printer driver identifies, in a template image indicated by the template data, a composite area in which the composition image is to be composed based on the template data or information stored in the data storage area. Then, the printer driver generates image data of an image in which the composition image is composed in the identified composite area of the template image. With this configuration, the image in which the composition image is composed can be generated without requiring a user to obtain the composition images or without requiring the user to compose the composition image with the template image.
