Arrangement processing for arranging image data on a printing medium can differ according to a printer type, and it may not be possible to obtain the print product intended by a user. A method is provided that includes determining, at a processor configured to perform the determining, to perform processing for generating image data without appending margins in a case where the printer type is identified to be a large-format printer based on printer type information, and determining, at the processor configured to perform the determining, to perform processing for generating the image data with appended margins in a case where the printer type is identified to be a small-format printer based on the printer type information and borderless printing is identified to be executed based on print setting information.

A printer is caused to perform duplex printing by an information processing device in which an OS standard printing program is installed. When causing a printer connected to a PC to execute duplex printing based on a print instruction output from an editing application installed in the PC, an auxiliary program that supports the printer executes rotation processing of rotating an image of a page, which is required to be rotated, by 180° for intermediate data received from a general-purpose print program, executes rearrangement processing of rearranging a processing order from a page order to a print order for print data received from the general-purpose print program, according to a sheet conveying aspect of the printer, and transmits the print data after the rotation processing and the rearrangement processing from the PC to the printer.

Provided are an image layout size calculation apparatus, an image layout size calculation method, and an image layout size calculation program which are capable of outputting an image with a small blurriness degree. A blurriness value is calculated for each image area, and the smallest blurriness value is decided (step S24). Resolution of a printer that prints the image is read (step S25). A layout size in which the blurriness value is equal to or smaller than a second threshold value is calculated based on the number of pixels of the image, the decided blurriness value, and the resolution of the printer (step S26). By printing the image having a size equal to or smaller than the calculated layout size, the blurriness degree of the printed image is reduced.

A method of controlling an information processing apparatus includes acquiring information on a sheet size specified by a user and acquiring information on a sheet feeding direction to a printing apparatus for sheet corresponding to the specified sheet size. In a case where the sheet feeding direction is a predetermined direction, a predetermined control is executed. After the predetermined control, a drawing application is notified of information on a page setting.

A method is provided of producing and assembling a multi-part surface-mountable physical-activity lamina for use in aiding or supplementing a physical-activity in a physical-activity environment. There is a step a] of providing a first graphic design model of the lamina; and b] segmenting the first graphic design model into a plurality of graphic design model portions. A step c] follows of arranging the graphic design model portions into a more compact second graphic design defining a reduced surface area; and then d] the second graphic design being applied to a lamina substrate having another surface area. The lamina substrate is then separated into lamina elements corresponding to the graphic design model portions, followed by a step e] of assembling the lamina elements onto a mounting surface at a physical-activity environment to form the surface-mountable physical-activity lamina.

A print control program causes a processor to display a first page image including a first image out of an image group including images corresponding to the pages in document data, receive a change instruction to change from the display of the first page image to the display of a second page image including a second image included in the image group, and when receiving the change instruction, change from the display of the first page image to the display of the second page image in a change mode in accordance with a received print setting.

An apparatus includes a setting unit and a control unit. The setting unit performs a first print setting indicating a poster printing function that divides a single piece of image data into a plurality of pieces of image data and generates print jobs, and a second print setting indicating a correction function for correcting calculated gray values when an image processing apparatus converts a plurality of pieces of color image data to grayscale, based on a number of colors acquired from each of the plurality of pieces of color image data. The control unit restricts the setting unit from performing the first print setting and the second print setting. In a state where one of the first print setting and the second print setting is performed by the setting unit, the control unit controls the setting unit not to perform the other print setting.

A system and method for determining which existing inventory on a retail premises is at risk for remaining unsold. Machine learning is applied to existing inventory product data, historical sales information and competitor pricing information obtained from online sources. Application of machine learning generates a list of suggested, revised prices for at risk items. Each revised price accepted by an administrator automatically generates an updated price label for the at risk items.

Various embodiments illustrated herein disclose a method comprising rendering a buffer image from a first image data received for printing. Further, the method includes scaling the buffer image to generated scaled buffer image. Furthermore, the method includes determining a first location of a machine readable indicia in the scaled buffer image. Additionally, the method includes causing a print head to print the buffer image on a print media to generate a printed content.

Methods, systems, and software are disclosed for a create-to-print document solution. A main processor generates individualized bespoke print material by receiving transmitted customizable third-party data and user input data, comprising, at least in part, project metadata. The third party data and user input data are integrated at the processor to create a plurality of customizable user templates and content.
