The envelope printer is adapted for use with envelopes. The envelope printer is a printer that is customized for printing envelopes. The envelope printer comprises a feed tray, an output tray and a printer. The feed tray and the output tray are attached to the printer. The feed tray is a first bin that is designed specifically to hold envelopes. The printer will draw blank envelopes from the feed tray for printing. The output tray is a second bin that is designed specifically to receive envelopes from the printer. The printer is a specially designed printer that is optimized for processing and directly printing on envelopes.

A tape printing apparatus includes an input unit for inputting information, a posture determining unit configured to determine an apparatus posture, and an operation-mode setting unit configured to set an operation mode in one of a first mode for receiving printing data from an external apparatus and a second mode for generating printing data on the basis of the information input from the input unit without receiving the printing data from the external apparatus. The operation-mode setting unit sets the operation mode according to the apparatus posture determined by the posture determining unit.

An image processing apparatus includes an image processor that performs error diffusion processing by applying an error diffusion matrix to multi-valued image data having pixels two-dimensionally arranged, so as to convert the multi-valued image data into binary image data. The binarization unit applies an error diffusion matrix in which the diffusion coefficient of a pixel diagonal to a focused-on pixel is greater than those of other pixels.

Systems, devices, and methods illuminate one or more areas on a calibration medium from a first side of the calibration medium with one or more respective light-emitting regions of a light source; detect light transmitted through the calibration medium at the one or more areas, thereby obtaining calibration-measurement information for at least one of the one or more light-emitting regions; illuminate one or more color patches on a color-measurement medium from a first side of the color-measurement medium with the one or more respective light-emitting regions of the light source; detect light transmitted through the one or more color patches printed on the color-measurement medium, thereby obtaining color-measurement information for at least one of the one or more light-emitting regions; and generate one or more transmissive measurements based on the calibration-measurement information and the color-measurement information.

A printing device displays a preview image of received image data, receives, based on the previewed image, an instruction to rotate the received image, rotates the received image data based on the received rotation instruction, and prints the rotated image data.

An image forming apparatus includes a storage section that stores a medium setting including information representing a printing area on a printing medium, a printing section that performs printing on the printing medium based on the medium setting stored in the storage section, a determining section that determines whether a first medium setting included in a print job sent from an information processing apparatus and including information representing a printing area on a printing medium differs from a second medium setting stored as the medium setting in the storage section, and a controller that changes the medium setting stored in the storage section from the second medium setting to the first medium setting, when the determining section determines that the first medium setting differs from the second medium setting.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for an information processing apparatus contains instructions which cause, when executed by a controller, the information processing apparatus to perform identifying a sheet size of a sheet which is used for printing based on identifying data, the identifying data being received through the input interface and identifying the sheet size based on the received identifying data, receiving image data which is output by the application, when the received image data represents an image in which a first object is arranged, when the size of the image is a first size, and when the identified sheet size is a second size, extracting object image data representing the first object from the image data received in the receiving process, generating printing data, and outputting the generated printing data to be transmitted to the printer through the communication interface.

A printing apparatus includes a pattern extracting unit for, based on a comparison between first image data representing a pattern and second image data generated by imaging a fabric transported, extracting a pattern region from the second image data, a printing image generation unit for arranging third image data representing an image to be printed overlaid on the pattern so that the third image data matches the pattern region to generate printing image data, and a printing control unit for causing a printing unit to print the printing image data on the fabric transported.

The disclosure discloses a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a virtual label display process program for executing steps. The steps include a composite image generating step, a composite image output step, a determining step, and a notifying step. In the composite image generating step, a real image data of a desired field of view and a virtual image data of a label are combined. In the composite image output step, a composite image data is output to a display device, and a virtual image of the label on the display device is superimposed and displayed. In the determining step, it is determined whether a desired suitability is satisfied between an exterior appearance of a background object and an exterior appearance of the label based on the real image data and the virtual image data. In the notifying step, a predetermined suitability notification is made.

A recording device includes a recording unit configured to execute recording on a recording medium using a color material of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, and a control unit configured to control recording executed by the recording unit, wherein the control unit causes the recording unit to record an edge region of black data included in image data using at least the color material of black, causes the recording unit to record an inner region on an inner side of the edge region of the black data using at least the color material of cyan, magenta, and yellow, and sets the amount of the color material of black per unit area of the edge region to be greater than the amount of the color material of black per unit area of the inner region.
