A printing system includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires print data of a plurality of pages and extracts comparison data from the print data for each page. The processing circuitry, from first image data read from a printed material on which the print data is printed, acquires second image data at a position corresponding to the comparison data, for each page of the printed material. The processing circuitry outputs a comparison result of the comparison data and the read image data for each page.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to present, to a user, a second sheet on the basis of a visible property of a first sheet and an invisible property of the first sheet, the second sheet being different from the first sheet.

A printing system includes a printing device having a digital front end (DFE) and at least one client device that sends print jobs to the printing device. The DFE stores a device capability file that sets forth device and print options available for the printing device. The print options include a priority value, an option type, a grouping option, a print option icon, and a preview overlay graphic. A copy of the device capability file is made available to a client application on the client device. The client application retrieves all the print information from the device capability file. The client application also presents and previews the print options using the appropriate preview graphic overlay.

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a printing system capable of supporting a plurality of printable areas for one paper size. One embodiment of the present invention is a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform a control method in an information processing apparatus including: first printing control software; and second printing control software that converts first format print data output by the first printing control software into second format print data, and the control method includes: a first creation step of creating raster data based on the first format print data; a medium determination step of performing determination of whether a printing-target medium is a medium that needs a margin larger than a regular size; and a margin insertion step of performing margin insertion processing for raster data created at the first creation step.

An information processing apparatus acquires printing setting information including at least information on a sheet type relating to mounted sheets and information on a sheet width, which correspond to each sheet feed unit in a printing apparatus capable of feeding sheets from a plurality of sheet feed units, creates a first item for designating a plurality of sheet feed units whose both sheet type and sheet width are the same among sheet feed units of the printing apparatus, and a second item for designating a sheet feed port for which there does not exist another sheet feed unit whose both sheet type and sheet width are the same, and creates a print job in a case where a user designates the first item, the print job including a command for the printing apparatus to automatically select a sheet feed unit from among the plurality of sheet feed units included in the first item.

A shipping assistance device which enables a delivery service operator to quickly confirm that the size of an item has been properly measured and there is no need to re-measure the size, and proceed to operations for transportation, comprises a table to place items, upper and side shooting devices for shooting images of an item on the table, a storage chamber for storing items, front-facing and upward-facing displays a printer for printing a shipping label, and a processing controller configured to measure the size of the item on the table based on shot images, determine if the item is acceptable to be put in the storage chamber based on the measured size, display a determination result on the displays, and when the item is determined acceptable, instruct the printer to print a shipping label with an acceptance signature for the item.

To make it possible for a user to easily grasp, at the time of selection of a measuring device and a chart, which are necessary for color verification of a printer, whether or not it is possible to use them. Based on a chart configuration information indicating the configuration of a chart on which a color patch is arranged and specification information indicating specifications of a measuring device that is used for colorimetry of the color patch, determination processing to check whether it is possible to perform colorimetry is performed. Then, results of the determination processing are output to be presented to a user.

An information processing apparatus comprises a storage to store a plurality of templates including a region in which data can be placed. The apparatus specifies data to be placed in the plurality of templates; and outputs an image in which the data is placed in a template, from among the plurality of templates, and which is based on data to be placed in the region and including text inputted by a user.

An information processing apparatus extracts colors used for an image, links each color to one of color groups including a first color group and a second color group, displays, in a first region of a UI, a representative color associated with a group, of the color groups, to which extracted color is linked, displays a color palette including one color in a second region of the UI, and replaces a color included in the image and belonging to the color group associated with the selected representative color with a color selected from the color palette. If the color groups include groups to which at least one extracted color is linked, representative colors respectively associated with the groups to which at least one of the extracted colors is linked are displayed in the first region.

An image processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: in response to a prior print instruction, impose multiple pieces of prior image data to a subset of multiple imposition regions of a continuous paper sheet that is enabled to be imposed with the prior image data in response to the prior print instruction; and in response to a subsequent print instruction, impose subsequent image data to an unplanned region that is not imposed with the prior image data, from among the imposition regions serving as targets of imposition after the prior print instruction.
