Abstract
The present invention relates to an image processing device that can implement printing (both printing of variable pages and non-variable pages) of an entire document and printing of only variable pages in a simplified manner. The device includes a selecting unit, a determining unit, and outputting unit. The selecting unit selects a printing mode. The determining unit determines whether the selected printing mode is an ordinary printing mode or a variable page printing mode. The outputting unit outputs printing data for a variable page and a non-variable page when the selected printing mode is determined to be the ordinary printing mode the determining unit, and outputs printing data for the variable page when the selected printing mode is determined to be the variable page printing mode by the determining unit.
