In a print control device 10, a page data correction portion 140 receives page data Dpg included in manuscript data Dd and, when the page data Dpg includes a predetermined type of barcode font with a data resolution different from a print resolution, corrects font data within barcode data while maintaining a barcode length, such that any bars and spaces included in a character represented by the barcode font have widths corresponding to natural numbers of pixels with a resolution that is a natural number multiple of the print resolution. A rasterization processing portion 160 rasterizes corrected page data with a high resolution and thereafter anti-aliases the rasterized page data, thereby generating print-resolution raster data Drs.

An image-forming apparatus contains a hardware processor for forming first and second reference marks on both surfaces of a first recording medium by using respective recorder. The first reference mark includes scale marks indicating coordinates in a position range relative to a first image-forming area, and the second reference mark includes an indicator indicating a position relative to a second image-forming area. The indicator is formed in a position indicating the relative position range as seen from a direction perpendicular to the surface of the recording medium. The hardware processor is also for implementing settings for adjusting the recording action of the recorder so that positional misalignment of the first and second image-forming areas diminishes based on coordinates inputted by an input section and indicated by the indicator. The hardware processor causes respective adjusted ordinary images to be formed on both surfaces of a second recording medium by the recorder.
