20080246992 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - Print settings for input data for printing are acquired. A function group is created for each group of functions, between which contradiction due to change of an execution sequence does not arise, of functions executable in a printer. For each created function group, an execution sequence of functions belonging to the function group is set. Processes for functions designated by the acquired print settings are applied to the data for printing in accordance with the execution sequence set for each function group. Print data created by applying the processes are output to the printer. | 10-09-2008 |
20090116060 | PRINT CONTROL APPARATUS, PRINT CONTROLLING METHOD AND MEDIUM - A print control apparatus comprising a storage unit configured to store restriction information which restricts print functions, a determination unit configured to refer to the data storage location specified by the restriction information, compare the attributes of the electronic data stored in the data storage location and the attributes of the print data, and determine whether or not a condition specified in the restriction information is met, and a control unit configured to restrict printing of the print data when it is determined that the condition is met, and configured not to restrict printing of the print data when it is determined that the condition is not met. | 05-07-2009 |
20100182627 | PRINTING CONTROL APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - This invention is directed at preventing unnecessary processing and CPU load of a PC when always printing via a printer driver, and avoiding the omission of a printer driver function when always performing direct printing. When using a printer having a direct printing function, which of printing via the printer driver and direct printing is to be done is determined in accordance with print settings of each print job, and then printing is executed. A function to be implemented by the driver among set functions is determined (S | 07-22-2010 |
20100235846 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND DATA OUTPUT MANAGING SYSTEM - A setup method of an information processing apparatus in which a module as a control program for expanding a printer driver has been installed. A plurality of modules are detected and the information processing apparatus is set up so that the plurality of detected modules execute processes in predetermined operating order. | 09-16-2010 |
20100322661 | PRINT OUTPUT SYSTEM, PRINT CONTROL APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR THE SAME - A system, a control apparatus, a control method and a computer program are provided which are configured to control a printing output in response to characteristics of a printing apparatus when a plurality of printing apparatuses has different characteristics. A host computer acquires apparatus information including characteristics information indicating the characteristics of a printer and thereby determines a priority order of printers in relation to the print data based on the characteristics information. The host computer then determines a printer to output the print data based on the determined priority order and outputs the print data to the determined printer. | 12-23-2010 |
20110176826 | PRINTING CONTROL APPARATUS, PRINTING CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A printing control apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store information about a plurality of print jobs and a plurality of printing devices in a storage device, a detection unit configured to detect the shift of operating status of the plurality of printing devices, a determination unit configured to determine a print job which a printing device prints from the plurality of print jobs based on the information about the plurality of print jobs and the plurality of printing devices stored in the storage device when the shift of the printing device to a standby state is detected by the detection unit, and a print control unit configured to cause the first printing device to print the print job determined by the determination unit. | 07-21-2011 |
20120057177 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processing apparatus includes a designation unit configured, in printing each of input first and second data by using a spot color printing material, to designate a spot color effect achieved by using the spot color printing material, a first determination unit configured to determine a paper attribute for implementing the designated spot color effect for the first data, a second determination unit configured, to determine a paper attribute for implementing the designated spot color effect for the second data, a setting unit configured to execute a setting of a print appearance for printing the first and the second data on one sheet, and sheet determination unit configured to determine a sheet having the attribute determined by the first and the second determination unit as a sheet onto which the first and the second data is to be printed according to the set print appearance. | 03-08-2012 |
20120331382 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - When a document processing program constituting a workflow system includes a user interface and a plurality of types of editing processing can be executed by a user's operation, an erroneous operation is executed, so that a mismatch may occur in a workflow. When a selected document is transmitted to a second processing program, a user interface that disables a user to select a predetermined function is displayed. | 12-27-2012 |
20130054515 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, DOCUMENT ACCESS METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - Provided is a document management system which allows a document management server to be accessed from a document management client terminal by using a database of the document management server as a backend engine, the document management system configured to determine an appropriate access method for opening a file. In order for the document management client terminal to open a file in the document management server having an exclusive control function, the document management system accesses the document management server according to file attribute information of the file held in the document management client terminal. | 02-28-2013 |
20130235402 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - The print output system obtains, when performing printing from a first application that is operated in a first execution environment, information regarding a printer driver, and determines whether or not settings of print functionality can fully be performed in the first execution environment. If it is determined that the settings of print functionality cannot fully be performed, then the print output system causes a second application that is operated in a second execution environment to display a user interface through which print settings are executed and to execute print output, allowing fully utilizing the print functionality. | 09-12-2013 |
