PRINT CONTROL METHOD FOR PRINTING DOCUMENTS WITH 2-DIMENSIONAL BAR CODE

摘要

The present invention relates to a print control method for printing documents with a two-dimensional bar code which represents an arbitrary one of contents of an output document in a two-dimensional bar code image and inserts the image into a predetermined position of the output document to print the same together with the output document without changing existing conventional software. The method includes the steps of: directing an arbitrary document to be printed; designating one of the contents of the output document to be transformed into the two-dimensional bar code; storing the designated content into an information file; creating a two-dimensional bar code image containing the designated content in the document with reference to the script information of the corresponding document and the value of the information file during printing; and printing the document along with the created two-dimensional bar code image being inserted into a predetermined position of the output document.
