An image processing apparatus which is capable of merging character strings with an original image without causing garbling. A first storage unit stores first character codes corresponding to a first language in accordance with administrator's input. A second storage unit stores a second character codes corresponding to a second character in accordance with login user's input. A reading unit reads an original image in accordance with login user's input. A generation unit generates a first character image corresponding to the first language on the basis of the first character codes and generates a second character image corresponding to the second language on the basis of the second character codes. A printing unit carries out a printing process based on the first character image, the second character image and the original image.

A print control device includes a control unit configured to acquire print image data from a storage device according to a print request and to cause a printer 100 which is configured to execute printing based on the print image data to execute the printing, wherein the control unit acquires from the storage device, operation status information of the storage device storing the print image data and attribute information of the print image data stored in the storage device and enables the operation status information and the attribute information to be displayed on a display unit.

An image processing apparatus scans an image of a document into image data, splits the image data into a plurality of areas to generate split image data, magnifies the split image data, and aggregates the magnified split image data at least based on a font size of one or more characters included in the split image data.

System and methods for processing and printing print jobs with a single sheet job model job model. In one embodiment, a print controller includes an interface that receives a print job, and a processing unit that initiates a processing task for a group of pages in the print job. The print controller also includes a sheet controller that establishes a single sheet job model in memory for the processing task, and that iteratively inserts sheet properties of a set of pages of the group into the single sheet job model, provides the single sheet job model with the sheet properties to the processing task, and erases the sheet properties from the single sheet job model.

In a printer, a controller builds a glyph index table in which no glyph data is registered. When it is determined that no set of glyph data corresponding to a character code selected in print data is registered in the glyph index table, the controller acquires a target set of glyph data from the font information in a memory. The target set of glyph data corresponds to the character code. The controller registers the target set of glyph data in the glyph index table. When it is determined that the set of glyph data corresponding to the character code is registered in the glyph index table, the controller acquires the target set of glyph data from the glyph index table. The controller generates raster data from the print data using the target set of glyph data, and perform a printing process to print an image based on the raster data.

A first storage unit stores first character codes corresponding to a first language in accordance with administrator's input. A second storage unit stores a second character codes corresponding to a second character in accordance with login user's input. A reading unit reads an original image in accordance with login user's input. A generation unit generates a first character image corresponding to the first language on the basis of the first character codes and generates a second character image corresponding to the second language on the basis of the second character codes. A printing unit carries out a printing process based on the first character image, the second character image and the original image.

A controller included in a printer performs a specific process when print data includes a print-data character code. The specific process is to: specify a print-data character encoding system describing the print-data character code; and determine whether the print-data character encoding system is a prescribed character encoding system. When the specific process determines that the print-data character encoding system is not the prescribed character encoding system, the controller reads a print-data conversion table stored in the memory. The print-data conversion table maps each of a plurality of reference character codes of the print-data character encoding system to a respective one of a plurality of target character codes of the prescribed character encoding system. The controller converts the print-data character code into a converted print-data character code using the print-data conversion table, and generate raster data using the converted print-data character code for printing with a print engine.

A printer includes a memory, a print engine, and a controller. The controller performs a first acquisition process to acquire print data specifying a character, and a second acquisition process to acquire specific information from the print data. The specific information specifies a font. The controller performs an identification process to identify a target font file, using the piece of allocation information stored in the memory, from among the plurality of font files. The piece of allocation information is for associating the specific information with the target font file. The identification process references the piece of allocation information to identify the target font file associated with the specific information acquired in the second acquisition process. The controller performs a drawing process to draw an image of the character using the target font file to generate image data to be used in printing by the print engine.

A printer has a print unit, a printer communicator, printer storage, and a printer controller. The controller controls the printer communicator to receive a print command that includes character data and a font command. The controller acquires font data for characters specified by the character data based on font data and relational information stored by the printer storage 21. The controller generates print data by applying a specific process related to the font type and controls the print unit based on the generated print data to print on a print medium.
