the processor receives an operation of selecting, with respect to the display of the list, one from at least one of either the plurality of conversion scales included in the list or the maximum numbers corresponding to the plurality of conversion scales, and
the printing device further comprises a print head configured to print, in the printable range and in the maximum number corresponding to the operation, the image in a size changed according to a conversion scale corresponding to the operation among the plurality of conversion scales.
7 . The printing device of claim 1 , wherein
the images to be disposed in the printable range in the maximum number are the same size.
8 . The printing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a print head configured to print the maximum number of the image in the printable range with a gap between images, wherein
the processor calculates the maximum number of the image, including the gap, arrangeable in the printable range when the size of the image is changed according to each of the conversion scales, and
the gap is constant even if the size of the image is changed.
9 . The printing device of claim 1 , wherein
the processor is connected to a post-processing apparatus configured to perform post-processing on a plurality of printed matter of the image arranged in the printable range and that is configured to transmit, to the post-processing apparatus, imposition information indicating arrangement of the images in the printable range.
10 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a display program, the display program being for a printing device that performs printing by arranging a plurality of an image in a predetermined printable range, the display program causing a computer to realize:
a calculation function of calculating a maximum number of the image arrangeable in the printable range when the size of the image is changed in accordance with each of a plurality of conversion scales for changing the size of the image; and
a list display function of displaying, as a list, the plurality of conversion scales and the maximum number corresponding to each of the plurality of conversion scales, wherein
when the size of the image is changed in accordance with each of the plurality of conversion scales, a first direction maximum number and a second direction maximum number are calculated, the first direction maximum number is a maximum number of the image arrangeable in the printable range in a first direction, which is along the printable range, the second direction maximum number is a maximum number of the image arrangeable in the printable range in a second direction intersecting the first direction, which is along the printable range, and
the first direction maximum number and the second direction maximum number corresponding to each of the plurality of conversion scales are displayed in the list.
