Abstract
A print control apparatus is connected to a printing device, and includes: a generation unit that generates first vector data for printing an image on a single sheet and second vector data for enlarging the image and printing the enlarged image on a plurality of sheets in a divisional manner; an conversion unit that converts the first vector data and the second vector data generated by the generation unit into first bitmap data and second bitmap data, respectively; a division unit that divides the second bitmap data into units corresponding to each of the plurality of sheets; and an output control unit that outputs the first bitmap data and the divided second bitmap data to the printing device.
