Image Forming Apparatus, Image Forming Method, and Recording Medium That Prevent Missing of Information in Performing Reduced Printing of Image Data

摘要

An image forming apparatus includes an equal-magnification-region-designation accepting circuit, a front-surface-image generating circuit, a back-surface-image generating circuit, and a duplex printing circuit. The front-surface-image generating circuit reduces the image in accordance with the reduction magnification to generate image data representing the reduced image as image data representing a front-surface-side image of duplex printing. The back-surface-image generating circuit uses the designated equal-magnification region in the image before the reduction by a magnification equal to the magnification of the image to generate image data representing a back-surface-side image of duplex printing. The duplex printing circuit prints an image corresponding to the front-surface-side image data on a front surface of a predetermined paper sheet and an image corresponding to the back-surface-side image data on the back surface of the paper sheet.

主权项

1. An image forming apparatus, comprising:
an equal-magnification-region-designation accepting circuit that accepts a reduction magnification of a reduced printing and a designation of an equal-magnification region in the reduced printing that prints a reduced image represented by image data, the equal-magnification region being a target of an equal-magnification printing in the image; a front-surface-image generating circuit that reduces the image in accordance with the reduction magnification to generate image data representing the reduced image as image data representing a front-surface-side image of duplex printing; a back-surface-image generating circuit that uses the designated equal-magnification region in the image before the reduction by a magnification equal to the magnification of the image to generate image data representing a back-surface-side image of duplex printing; and a duplex printing circuit that prints an image corresponding to the front-surface-side image data on a front surface of a predetermined paper sheet and an image corresponding to the back-surface-side image data on the back surface of the paper sheet.
