Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes a receiving unit that receives print control information input by a user, a unit that stores, in a memory, the print control information received by the receiving unit, and a print controller that causes a printing unit to print an image representing an image to be printed on a sheet to be imaged on the basis of the print control information stored in the memory when a predetermined operation is performed. The print control information includes first information indicating whether the sheet to be imaged is an envelope and second information indicating the size of the sheet to be imaged.

Claims (33)

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:

a receiving unit that receives print control information input by a user;

a unit that stores, in a memory, the print control information received by the receiving unit; and

a print controller that causes a printing unit to print an image representing an image to be printed on a sheet to be imaged on the basis of the print control information stored in the memory when a predetermined operation is performed;

wherein the print control information includes first information indicating whether the sheet to be imaged is an envelope and second information indicating a size of the sheet to be imaged,

wherein in response to determining that the first information included in the print control information indicates that the sheet to be imaged is an envelope, the print controller causes the printing unit to print the image which is rotated in accordance with a direction of the envelope, and

wherein in response to determining that the first information included, in the print control information indicates that the sheet to be imaged is not an envelope, the print controller causes the printing unit to print the image to be printed.

2. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the print control information including the first information indicating that the sheet to be imaged is an envelope further includes third information indicating an open/closed condition of a flap,

wherein in response to determining that the first information included in the print control information indicates that the sheet to be imaged is an envelope and that the third information included in the print control information indicates a predetermined reference condition, the print controller causes the printing unit to print the image to be printed, subjected to a rotating process, and

wherein in response to determining that the first information included in the print control information indicates that the sheet to be imaged is an envelope and that the third information included in the print control information does not indicate the predetermined reference condition, the print controller causes the printing unit to print the image to be printed.

3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a guide unit that displays a guide image on a display when the predetermined operation is performed, the guide unit guiding a user who performs the operation how to set up the sheet to be imaged;

wherein the print control information including the first information indicating that the sheet to be imaged is an envelope further includes fourth information indicating a position of a flap,

wherein the printing unit prints the image to be printed on the sheet to be imaged set on a setting member on which sheets are to be set, and

wherein in response to determining that the first information included in the print control information indicates that the sheet to be imaged is an envelope, the guide unit displays, on the display, the guide image in accordance with a combination of the condition indicated by the third information included in the print control information and the position indicated by the fourth information included in the print control information.

4. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first information indicates whether the sheet to be imaged is either an envelope or a plain paper sheet.

5. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the print control information includes third information indicating an open/closed condition of a flap.

6. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the print control information includes fourth information indicating a position of a flap.

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

storing, in a memory, print control information received from a user; and

causing a printing unit to print an image representing an image to be printed on a sheet to be imaged on the basis of the print control information stored in the memory when a predetermined operation is performed;

wherein the print control information includes first information indicating whether the sheet to be imaged is an envelope and second information indicating a size of the sheet to be imaged;

wherein the process further comprises:

in response to determining that the first information included in the print control information indicates that the sheet to be imaged is an envelope, causing the printing unit to print the image which is rotated in accordance with a direction of the envelope, and

in response to determining that the first information included in the print control information indicates that the sheet to be imaged is not an envelope, causing the printing unit to print the image to be printed.

8. An image processing method comprising:

receiving print control information input by a user;

storing, in a memory, the received print control information; and

causing a printing unit to print an image representing an image to be printed on a sheet to be imaged on the basis of the print control information stored in the memory when a predetermined operation is performed;

wherein the print control information includes first information indicating whether the sheet to be imaged is an envelope and second information indicating a size of the sheet to be imaged,

wherein the method further comprises:

in response to determining that the first information included in the print control information indicates that the sheet to be imaged is an envelope, causing the printing unit to print the image which is rotated in accordance with a direction of the envelope, and

in response to determining that the first information included in the print control information indicates that the sheet to be imaged is not an envelope, causing the printing unit to print the image to be printed.
