In an image processing apparatus, a processor acquires first and second profiles. The processor generates a third profile. The processor acquires a first boundary defining a first boundary value. The processor determines a second boundary by using first and second boundary output values. The second boundary defines a second boundary value. The first boundary output value is determined from output values in the first profile on the basis of the first boundary. The second boundary output value is determined from output values in the second profile on the basis of the first boundary. The first and second boundary values define first, second, and third ranges. The third profile maps a specific input value in the second range to an output value by using a value to which the first profile maps the specific input value and a value to which the second profile maps the specific input value.

A printing apparatus capable of adding number information differing from copy set to copy set, to a printing target image includes a judging unit configured to judge whether to add user information indicating a current user to a printing target image, and a determination unit configured to determine a position to which the number information is to be added, based on a result of the judgment performed by the judging unit.

A Raster Image Processing (RIP) module includes an object detection module configured to receive at least one input file, detect objects in the at least one input file and create at least one image comprising a predefined number of stripes along the edges of the detected objects, an edge processing module configured to receive the at least one image and process the at least one image by changing the gray level of each one of the objects' stripes according to an edge processing table; and a dithering module configured to receive the at least one processed image, dither the at least one processed image according to the at least one image's gray levels and output a printing ready file.

A tape printing apparatus includes an input unit for performing editing, a temporary storage unit configured to temporarily store editing information being edited by the tape printing apparatus, and an editing-information transmitting unit configured to transmit the editing information to a portable terminal when a first operation button included in the input unit is operated in a state in which the editing information is stored in the temporary storage unit.

An image forming apparatus includes: a communication interface that receives printable data including a character code from a host device; a memory that stores a character code attribute table recording the character code, the character code attribute table being configured to record a rendering attribute in association with the character code; and a processor that executes an information processing program to operate as a rendering module, in which the rendering module is configured to render a character identified by the character code in the printable data on a basis of the rendering attribute recorded in association with the character code in the character code attribute table to generate rendering data.

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.

A printing apparatus capable of adding number information differing from copy set to copy set, to a printing target image includes a judging unit configured to judge whether to add user information indicating a current user to a printing target image, and a determination unit configured to determine a position to which the number information is to be added, based on a result of the judgment performed by the judging unit.

A non-transitory medium storing a program executable by a computer of an information processing apparatus, the program, when executed by the computer, causing the computer to execute: a designating process for designating a database file including a plurality of text data; an associating process for associating the database file designated in the designating process with a text object; and a specific printing process for generating label data, for each of the text data included in the database file, with each of the text data written in the text object, and for causing a label printer to execute printing based on the label data generated.

A printer has a printing mechanism for printing on roll paper; RAM storing font data for multiple languages having at least some character codes in common, and the starting address of the font data for each of the multiple languages; a communicator that receives a command specifying starting addresses and character codes; and a controller that reads font data corresponding to the character codes received by the communicator from RAM based on the starting address specified by the command, and controlling the printing mechanism to print based on the read font data.

A data processing method processes data using a processor including N (N is an integer equal to or more than 2) cores and a memory. The data processing method includes: searching a new character as a character whose raster data is not stored in the memory among a plurality of characters specified by character data included in print data to count a count of the searched new characters; generating M (M is an integer equal to or less than the N) threads, wherein the M is a count determined based on the count of the counted new characters among the N; dividing and allocating the plurality of characters to the M threads to generate raster data for the new characters using any one of the N cores for each of the M threads; and rendering the plurality of characters using raster data corresponding to the character data.
