Abstract
An information-processing device for combining a plurality of pages including image data to printing image data printed on one sheet, and converting the combined pages to input image data for a image forming device is disclosed. When a multi-page print instruction is issued, a data generation unit in the information-processing device sets a maximum number N for combining the pages to one sheet, determines the size and the orientation of the sheet to be fed to an image forming point in the image forming device, and reserves a data storing region in an image buffer for producing the printing image data. The data generation unit produces the printing image data having the same orientation as that of the sheet fed in the image forming device when combining the page. Therefore, a process for rotating the printing image data itself is not necessary.
