Print control device, image forming apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable medium

摘要

A print control device includes an output unit, an adding unit, and a transmitting unit. The output unit outputs generated print data to a printing mechanism. The generated print data is generated as a result of unit print data, which includes page data of at least one page, being copied; and includes pieces of the unit print data. The adding unit adds blank page data between one piece of unit print data and another piece of unit print data to be printed next in line to the one piece of unit print data. The transmitting unit transmits, to the printing mechanism, information for causing an additional image to be formed on a medium when an image based on the page data is printed on the medium, and information for causing the additional image not to be formed on a blank page formed based on the added blank page data.

主权项

1. A print control device comprising:
an output unit that acquires print data for one job, and outputs a plurality of pieces of page data of individual pages including, for each individual page, an overlay-switch flag that is set based on a comparison of an overlay name of an overlay image to be added to the individual page with an overlay name of an overlay image to be added to a previous individual page to the individual page; a holding unit that, in a case in which the print data is to be output as a plurality of sets of the pieces of page data, holds a first overlay name of an overlay image that is to be added to a last page of a given set of the plurality of sets; a grasping unit that, in the case in which the print data is to be output as the plurality of sets, grasps a second overlay name of an overlay image that is to be added to a first page of a next set following the given set; and a transmitting unit that compares the first overlay name with the second overlay name, and that transmits information indicating whether or not a registered overlay image is to be changed for the next set based on the comparison, to the printing mechanism.
