PRINTING SYSTEM, PRINTING ASSISTANCE APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

An angle of rotation of a sheet is determined so as to match a processing area that is processed in a processing step defined by specification information with a processing area that is processed on the sheet placed in a placement direction designated in correspondence with a processing apparatus used in the processing step. After rotating the designated placement method by the determined angle of rotation, the resultant direction is printed in, for example, an area to be trimmed off as a placement direction of the sheet in the processing step.

主权项

1. A printing system for producing printed material by executing, based on specification information defining processing steps, each processing step using a corresponding one of a plurality of processing apparatuses, the printing system comprising:
a storage unit that stores property information per processing apparatus, the property information including information indicating a reference placement direction of a sheet and information indicating a processing area in which the sheet placed in the placement direction is processed; a determination unit that determines a placement direction of the sheet for matching a processing area of a processing apparatus designated by the specification information with the processing area indicated by the property information; and an output unit that outputs the placement direction determined by the determination unit.
