PRINTING CONTROL DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM

摘要

A printing control device includes a receiving unit and a replacing unit. The receiving unit receives a print job, which includes gloss control printing data indicating a type of surface effect by predetermined density information and table information capable of identifying a surface-effect selection table used in creation of the gloss control printing data, from a host device. The replacing unit replaces a part or whole of the surface-effect selection table implemented in the printing control device in advance on the basis of the table information included in the print job.

主权项

1. A printing control device controlling a printing device, the printing device being equipped with one or more colored chromatic toners and one or more colorless clear toners and forming an image on a recording medium on the basis of one or more sets of chromatic printing data for attaching the chromatic toners and one or more sets of clear-toner printing data for attaching the clear toners, the printing control device comprising:
a receiving unit that receives a print job from a host device, the print job including gloss control printing data indicating a type of surface effect to be achieved on the recording medium by predetermined density information and table information capable of identifying a surface-effect selection table used in creation of the gloss control printing data, the surface-effect selection table showing a correspondence relation between the type of surface effect and the density information; and a replacing unit that replaces a part or whole of the surface-effect selection table implemented in the printing control device in advance on the basis of the table information included in the print job.
