A relay apparatus transmits information corresponding to a registered photograph to the print management apparatus based on an event being specified when the first option is selected, wherein the event that is specified is registration of the photograph in the Web service, and transmits an instruction to print the game contents to the print management apparatus when the second option is selected and a speech instruction in a predetermined phrase spoken toward the speech recognition terminal is specified.

A communication system includes an information processing apparatus and a printer. A controller of the information processing apparatus is configured to receive a layout instruction, generate image data representing a layout image including a first object and a second object, generate edit order data indicating an edit order of the first object and the second object, and send the image data and the edit order data to the printer. A controller of the printer is configured to edit the received image data in accordance with the received edit order data, and activate the printer engine to form the layout image based on the edited image data.

A method for printing a product that includes a graphic that is tessellated includes receiving or generating the graphic and a tessellation pattern for the graphic; determining a first repeated swath using at least the graphic and the tessellation pattern, wherein the product to be printed includes at least two instances of the first repeated swath, wherein the first repeated swath includes i) at least two full copies of the graphic, ii) at least two partial copies of the graphic; or iii) at least one full copy and at least one partial copy of the graphic; generating raster data of the first repeated swath; and printing the product using the raster data of the first repeated swath to print the first repeated swath at least twice

A system and method for capturing media and for printing the captured media onto an article of merchandise. The system includes a mobile application that overlays one or more print dielines corresponding to the printable areas of one or more types of merchandise onto an associated camera display. In this way, the system provides, prior to the capturing of the photograph, a visual indication of the subject matter within the photograph (e.g., within the overlaid print dielines) that will be cropped and printed onto the merchandise. As such, a user may properly arrange the subject matter of the photograph (e.g., people) within the print dieline prior to capturing the photograph. The system subsequently communicates the portion of the photograph within the print dieline to a printing system to print the portion onto the merchandise. The system derives the print dielines from graphic files that correspond to the merchandises' printable areas.

A solar cell module includes: a solar cell module body and a print layer formed further toward a light-receiving surface side than the solar cell module body by printing with specific transparency in a specific region. A rear surface side is visible from the light-receiving surface side in at least part of the specific region. The specific transparency is set to satisfy a condition that spectral sensitivity integral ratio A defined by formula (1) below is not less than a specific value A* that the spectral sensitivity integral ratio A takes when printing is performed with transparency resulting in a short circuit current ratio of 0.6. λ is wavelength (nm), f(λ) is quantum efficiency IPCE (%) in a case in which the print layer is formed, and f.sub.SC(λ) is quantum efficiency IPCE (%) in a case in which the print layer is not formed.

[00001]$\begin{array}{cc}A=\frac{{\int }_{360}^{830}\left(f\left(\lambda \right)\right)d\lambda }{{\int }_{360}^{830}\left(f_{\mathrm{SC}}\left(\lambda \right)\right)d\lambda }& \mathrm{Formula}\left(1\right)\end{array}$

A printer includes an input device for receiving an input operation to the printer from a user, a memory, a printing device, and a controller. The controller is configured to: receive print data from a terminal; in a case where the controller determines that the print data received from the terminal is raster data, determine whether a particular condition is met; in a case where the controller determines that the particular condition is met, send, to the terminal, request information that requests the terminal to send page description language (PDL) data; and, in a case where the controller receives the PDL data from the terminal after sending the request information to the terminal, allow the printing device to execute printing on a basis of the PDL data. The PDL data specifies types of drawing objects and drawing positions with commands.

An image processing apparatus includes a first analyzing unit configured to analyze at least a first page data of print data, and a second analyzing unit configured to analyze at least a second page data of the print data. In a case where an error occurs in analyzing the second page data by the second analyzing unit before completing analyzing of the first page data, the second analyzing unit stops analyzing the second page data, and the first analyzing unit continues analyzing the first page data until analyzing of the first page data is completed, wherein the first page data proceeds to the second page data in the print data. The first analyzing unit and the second analyzing unit are implemented by one or more processors or circuitry, or a combination thereof.

Described herein are methods and devices for printing a large-size object on multiple sheets. The method includes receiving, at a printing device, a print job submitted by a user, wherein the print job includes a large-size object. The large-size object present in the print job is processed by the printing device to ascertain the number and sizes of sheets required for printing the large-size object. Then, the large-size object is printed by the printing device on multiple sheets based on the ascertainment.

A printer includes a print engine, a processor, and a memory. The print engine is configured to print an image on a print medium. The memory stores instructions, the instructions, when executed by the processor, causing the printer to perform: in a case where a plurality of layers is included in a document file that is acquired from one of a storage medium connected to the printer and an apparatus configured to communicate with the printer, determining whether the plurality of layers includes a selection target layer that is a layer corresponding to a same language as a language indicated by language information acquired from an information source; in response to determining that the plurality of layers includes the selection target layer, determining a layer including the selection target layer as a print target layer; and controlling the print engine to print the print target layer.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit and a control unit. The image forming unit is configured to print an image at an edge portion of a recording medium. The control unit is configured to generate a two-dimensional code image encoding information from a print job, divide the two-dimensional code image into a plurality of divided code images, and then control the image forming unit to print each divided code image at an end portion of a recording medium such that a two-dimensional code can be formed when a plurality of recording media are stacked after printing. The two-dimensional code encodes, for example, information related a document formed by the stacked the recording media.
