Abstract

An imposition for at least one page frame is applied onto a paper, and a page is disposed in the page frame on a layout in which an imaginary page frame including the page frame is set up. At that time, in the event that the page disposed on the layout juts out the imaginary page frame, a processing interruption section interrupts a series of processing of creating the paper image and outputting the created paper image to the paper, or a paper image creating section creates a paper image after the size adjustment of coinciding the page with the imaginary page frame.

Claims (16)

1. An imposition apparatus comprising:

a storage unit including:

a paper image creating section that creates a paper image in a manner that an imposition for at least one page frame is applied onto a paper, and a page including an image and/or a character disposed in the page frame on a layout in which an imaginary page frame including the page frame is set up, so that the entire paper, in which the page is disposed, is provided in form of an image;

an output processing section that causes an image output machine for outputting an image on the paper to output the paper image on the paper by applying the paper image created in the paper image creating section to the image output machine; and

a processing interruption section that interrupts and stops the creation of the paper image by the paper image creating section and the output of the created paper image on the paper by the output processing section in the event that the page disposed on the layout juts out from the imaginary page frame, and wherein due to an interruption by the process interruption section no image is printed.

2. An imposition apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the imaginary page frame includes a predetermined width of margin surrounding a periphery of the page frame.

3. An imposition apparatus of claim 1 wherein said page is within boundary of said imaginary page frame.

4. An imposition apparatus of claim 3 wherein said page is outside boundary of said page frame.

5. An imposition apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said paper image creating section sets up a register mark, which is a mark when the paper is cut, on the layout in which a page is disposed.

6. An imposition apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the paper image creating section creates a paper image which includes a plurality of register marks.

7. An imposition apparatus of claim 6 , wherein an image portion which juts out of the area encircled by the register mark is cut.

8. An imposition apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a user manually sets the size of the imaginary page frame and the size of the paper.

9. An imposition program storage medium storing an imposition program, the imposition program comprising:

a paper image creating section that creates a paper image in a manner that an imposition for at least one page frame is applied onto a paper, and a page including an image and/or a character disposed in the page frame on a layout in which an imaginary page frame including the page frame is set up, so the entire paper, in which the page is disposed, is provided in form of an image;

an output processing section that causes an image output machine for outputting an image on the paper to output the paper image on the paper by applying the paper image created in the paper image creating section to the image output machine; and

a processing interruption section for interrupting and stopping the creation of the paper image by the paper image creating section and the output of the created paper image on the paper by the output processing section in the event that the page disposed on the layout juts out from the imaginary page frame, and wherein due to an interruption by the process interruption section no image is printed.
