Abstract

The present invention provides an image processing device which aims for appropriate settings and simplification of printing functions. In a print server, when a print job is received, an application name used in a client terminal is specified from a drawing command of the print job, and standard settings of printing functions provided for each application are read from database files. Thereafter, the standard settings and settings of printing functions of the print job are compared. When the settings are different, after carrying out a warning processing, setting of printing functions based on the standard settings is carried out, and image processing and printing processing based on the set printing functions are executed. In this way, while simplifying settings of printing functions in the client terminal, image processing and printing processing by appropriate printing functions are possible.

Claims (25)

1. An image processing device, comprising:

a judging section that judges, prior to generating a press plate for a page layout, whether or not the page layout includes image data to be warned;

an image processing section that executes image processing on the page layout when the judging section judges that the page layout includes the image data, the image processing including processing to clarify for a user whether the page layout includes the image data or not; and

an output section that outputs the executed page layout to a display for a preview in a case that the image processing section executes the image processing to the page layout,

wherein the image data to be warned is image data in RGB color space.

2. The image processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the image processing section executes the image processing so that a user can recognize, in a state where the executed page layout is displayed on the display as the preview, whether the page layout includes the image data or not.

3. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the image processing section clarifies the image data to be warned by surrounding a periphery of the image data to be warned with at least a contour.

4. An image processing device, comprising:

a judging section that judges, prior to generating a press plate for a page layout, whether or not the page layout includes image data to be warned;

an image processing section that executes image processing on the page layout when the judging section judges that the page layout includes the image data, the image processing including processing to clarify for a user whether the page layout includes the image data or not; and

an output section that outputs the executed page layout to a display for a preview in a case that the image processing section executes the image processing to the page layout, wherein

the output section provides a user interface that allows a user to set a color for warning, and

the image processing section executes the image processing based on the color specified by the user setting.

5. The image processing device according to claim 4 , wherein the image data to be warned is at least one of image data in RGB color space, a hairline, and image data set to overprint.

6. An image processing method, comprising:

judging, prior to generating a press plate for a page layout, whether or not the page layout includes image data to be warned;

executing image processing on the page layout when judging that the page layout includes the image data, the image processing including processing to clarify for a user whether the page layout includes the image data or not; and

outputting the executed page layout to a display for a preview in a case that the image processing to the page layout is executed,

wherein the image data to be warned is image data in RGB color space.

7. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for image processing, the process comprising:

judging, prior to generating a press plate for a page layout, whether or not the page layout includes image data to be warned;

executing image processing on the page layout when judging that the page layout includes the image data, the image processing including processing to clarify for a user whether the page layout includes the image data or not; and

outputting the executed page layout to a display for a preview in a case that the image processing to the page layout is executed,

wherein the image data to be warned is image data in RGB color space.
