Image processing apparatus, image processing system and recording medium for print jobs that designate rendering engines

摘要

An information processing apparatus for creating drawing data based on a printing job, comprises a plurality of drawing data creating units configured to create respective drawing data based on the printing job, a printing job receiving unit configured to receive the printing job designating a drawing data creating unit of the drawing data creating units, a printing job outputting unit configured to output the printing job received by the printing job receiving unit to the designated drawing data creating unit.

主权项

1. An information processing apparatus capable of communicating with a plurality of Raster Image Processing (RIP) engines, each associated with a different manufacturer that implements different extensions to Job Definition Format (JDF), for creating drawing data used for forming an image in a printing device, wherein a printing job includes a printing process instruction file in JDF and default printing process instruction files for defining values of attributes that are set in a printing process instruction file of the printing job in advance, the default printing process instruction files being provided in accordance with the RIP engines,
the information processing apparatus comprising: a job receiving unit configured to receive the printing job designating a RIP engine of the RIP engines, the RIP engine creating the drawing data by using the printing job, wherein the job receiving unit corrects the printing process instruction file of the received printing job based on the default printing process instruction files in accordance with the designation of the RIP engine; and a job controlling-unit configured to output the printing job received by the job receiving unit to the designated RIP engine.
