Print Image Rendering with Registered Medium Sizes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional image generation systems often produce images of unintended sizes due to program configurations or data content, leading to mismatches between desired and actual print sizes.
Innovation Solution
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions for an information processing device to perform obtaining, registration, rendering, and transmission processes, ensuring that print images are rendered to fit registered medium sizes by registering and transmitting appropriate size-related information to the printing device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the program determines the size of the medium and controls the printing device to print the generated image, then the printing device can print images on various medium sizes, but the image generated by the information processing device might be of an unintended size due to program configuration or data content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by registering the medium size specified by size-related information in advance before rendering the print image. The controller registers the medium size obtained from print image information (which includes size-related information that directly or indirectly specifies the medium size) as a registered size, and then uses this registered size as a reference when rendering the print image to ensure it matches the intended size.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by using the registered medium size as a reference to verify and adjust the rendered print image size. The controller renders the print image to fit the registered medium size, ensuring that the output image size corresponds accurately to the intended medium size, thereby correcting potential size deviations from program configuration or data content issues.
2Ease of operation
If the information processing device generates images based on program configuration and data content, then the image generation process is flexible and adaptive, but the generated images may not match the desired size
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by establishing a registered size based on size-related information before the rendering process. The controller obtains print image information containing size-related information, registers the specified medium size as a registered size in advance, and then uses this pre-registered size as a reference for rendering, ensuring size conformity while maintaining generation flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by using the registered medium size as a reference standard during the rendering process. The controller renders the print image to fit the registered size, creating a feedback mechanism that ensures the generated image size conforms to the desired size despite variations in program configuration or data content.

AI summary
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores a set of instructions for an information processing device including a controller. The set of instructions, when executed by the controller, causes the information processing device to perform an obtaining process, a registration process, a rendering process, a transmission process. The obtaining process includes obtaining print image information. The registration process includes registering, as a registered size, a medium size specified by the print image information. The rendering process includes rendering, based on the content specified by the print image information, a print image to fit a medium size among medium sizes registered as registered sizes that is the same as the medium size specified by the size-related information. The medium sizes include the medium size registered by the registration process and one or more medium sizes registered as registered sizes. The transmission process includes transmitting a print command to the printing device.
