<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printing method which not only adds a pattern image for a notch/pasting margin to print data on a system side and prints the pattern image without generating the addition of the above pattern image by use of an application but also makes the total number of pages of a printing job equal to the number of pages of an actual document even if a pattern for a notch/pasting margin is added. <P>SOLUTION: A driver 102 additionally draws, on behalf of an application 101, a pattern indicating a pasting margin/notch on the blank space of each page which the application 101 draws and stores the print data in a spool file via a spooler 104. A print processor 107 divides a one-page document, which the application 101 draws, among the print data into a plurality of areas at the time of printing, expands each of the areas, locates the expanded areas to different pages, and adds the pattern indicating a pasting margin/notch to the blank space of each page in a mode corresponding to the number of division of the plurality of areas and their page positions, and then generates a synthesized page. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
