摘要

An information-embedding apparatus includes a first embedding unit that embeds certain information into data to be printed, in accordance with a first embedding mode that allows a printing apparatus to print the embedded information and that can be selected in accordance with the printing apparatus; a second embedding unit that embeds information that specifies the first embedding mode into the data to be printed, in accordance with a second embedding mode that allows the printing apparatus to print the embedded information and that is fixed irrespective of the printing apparatus; and an instruction unit that instructs the printing apparatus to print the data to be printed in which information has been embedded by the first embedding unit and the second embedding unit.
