Embodiment 1

[0062] figure 1 The printing system 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is explained. A printing system 1 according to this embodiment includes a printer 3 and a personal computer (PC) 10 communicably connected to the printer 3 . In the printing system 1, the printer 3 receives a control signal from the PC 10 to form (ie, print) an image on paper.

[0063] The PC 10 includes a central processing unit (CPU) 11 for executing various programs, a ROM 13 for storing a boot program executed by the CPU 11, a RAM 15 used as a work area in response to the execution of the programs by the CPU 11, storing various data and including A hard disk drive 17 for programs including an operating system (OS) or application programs such as word processing software, a display unit 19 having a liquid crystal monitor, etc., an input unit 20 that can be operated by a user such as a keyboard 21 or a pointing device (ie, a mouse 23 ) and an interface 25 that can communicate w...

Embodiment 2

[0102] The printing system 1 according to the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in a method of displaying a user setting session of the printing system 1 . Therefore, only components different from those of the printing system according to the first embodiment will be selectively explained.

[0103] Figure 9 The print setting session according to the second embodiment has been explained. Such as Figure 9 As shown, the print setting session according to the second embodiment has a separate user setting key corresponding to each parameter recorded in the user definition data. In the print setting session, each user setting key is adjacent to an object for receiving an instruction from the user to change the default value of the corresponding parameter. Also, in Figure 9 In the print setting session shown in , the parameters of "pages per sheet (layout)" and "paper medium" are recorded in the user-defined data.

[0104] Each user setting button is an obj...

Embodiment 3

[0123] The printing system according to the third embodiment changes the printing system 1 according to the first embodiment so that user management data for managing a plurality of user-defined data in the hard disk drive 17 of the PC 10 is formed and changed The contents of the print control processing and user setting session display processing implemented. Therefore, explanations for each component similar to those of the printing system of the first embodiment are omitted, and characteristic components of the printing system according to the third embodiment will be selectively described.

[0124] Figures 12A to 12C Data stored in the hard disk drive 17 of the PC 10 according to the third embodiment is explained. Such as Figure 12A As shown, the PC 10 according to the third embodiment has a printer driver in the hard disk drive 17 such as Figure 2A The print setting data shown, such as Figure 12B User management data as shown and as Figure 12C User-defined data ...

Abstract

A printing control apparatus that comprises: a printing control unit that executes a printing processing for predetermined data based on a setup value of a parameter relating to a printing mode in response to inputting a printing instruction through an input unit comprising plural operable keys, and enables a printer to form an image based on the data in the printing mode corresponding to the setup value; a determination unit that determines whether or not a particular key in the input unit is pressed in response to inputting the printing instruction based on an input signal, which is generated in response to pressing a key provided on the input unit; and a setting unit that selects a parameter in the printing control unit based on a result of the determination unit before the printing processing, and sets a value of the parameter in the printing control unit.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-191958 filed on June 30, 2005, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a print control device and a program thereof for printing data according to parameter setting values ​​of a printing mode and forming an image based on the data using a printing mode according to the setting values. Background technique [0004] In general, printing control devices are known in which parameters of a printing mode can be changed by a user's instruction to perform a printing process according to parameter setting values. The parameters include the number of pages to print, the print orientation, and the number of pages per sheet (ie, layout). Also, in such a print control device, a plurality of combinations of setting values ​​for each parameter can be recorded....
