Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes a display control unit that displays, on a display unit, a first area, in which a display image generated from print data included in a print job subjected to printing performed by an image forming apparatus is to be disposed, a second area, which corresponds to a recording medium on which an image to be printed corresponding to the display image is recorded and in which the display image is to be disposed, and a third area, which corresponds to a background of the recording medium and includes the second area, an identification unit that identifies a color of the recording medium specified by attribute information that specifies a process performed by the image forming apparatus in accordance with the print job, a setting unit that sets a background image of the recording medium, and a generation unit that generates the display image.

Claims (45)

1. An image processing apparatus comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the processor executes a program stored in the memory to be configured to:

display, on a display, a first area, in which a display image generated from print data included in a print job subjected to printing performed by an image forming apparatus is to be disposed, a second area, which corresponds to a recording medium on which an image to be printed corresponding to the display image is recorded and in which the display image is to be disposed, and a third area, which corresponds to a background of the recording medium and includes the second area;

identify a color of the recording medium specified by attribute information that specifies a process performed by the image forming apparatus in accordance with the print job;

set a background image of the recording medium; and

generate the display image using the identified color of the recording medium, the set background image, and the print data.

2. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to identify a color of a recording medium available in the image forming apparatus.

3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein, if the identified color of the recording medium identified is not transparent, the processor is configured to generate the display image on a basis of the color of the recording medium and the print data.

4. The image processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor is configured to generate the display image in predetermined order.

5. The image processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the predetermine order is order of colors recorded by the image forming apparatus.

6. The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein, if the identified color of the recording medium is transparent, the processor is configured to generate the display image on a basis of the set background image and the print data.

7. The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein, if a color recorded directly upon the recording medium is white, the processor is configured to generate the display image on a basis of the print data regardless of the color of the recording medium.

8. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein, if the recording medium is transparent, the processor is configured to display an image obtained by using the background image in the second area other than the first area.

9. The image processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the processor is configured to edit the background image before displaying the background image.

10. The image processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to display an image indicating a boundary between the second and third areas.

11. The image processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the processor executes the program to be further configured to

select that the image indicating the boundary is to be displayed.

12. The image processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the background image is a uniform chromatic image.

13. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the color of the recording medium is associated with a material of the recording medium.

14. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor executes the program to be further configured to

prevent from generating the display image using the identified color of the recording medium and the set background image.

15. The image processing apparatus according to claim 14 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to prevent blending in which an image based on the print data, an image including the color of the recording medium, and the background image are used.

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

displaying, on a display, a first area, in which a display image generated from print data included in a print job subjected to printing performed by an image forming apparatus is to be disposed, a second area, which corresponds to a recording medium on which an image to be printed corresponding to the display image is recorded and in which the display image is to be disposed, and a third area, which corresponds to a background of the recording medium and includes the second area;

identifying a color of the recording medium specified by attribute information that specifies a process performed by the image forming apparatus in accordance with the print job;

setting a background image of the recording medium; and

generating the display image using the color of the recording medium identified in the identifying, the background image set in the setting, and the print data.

17. An image processing apparatus comprising:

memory means for storing a program; and

processing means for executing the program stored in the memory to be configured for

displaying, on a display, a first area, in which a display image generated from print data included in a print job subjected to printing performed by an image forming apparatus is to be disposed, a second area, which corresponds to a recording medium on which an image to be printed corresponding to the display image is recorded and in which the display image is to be disposed, and a third area, which corresponds to a background of the recording medium and includes the second area;

identifying a color of the recording medium specified by attribute information that specifies a process performed by the image forming apparatus in accordance with the print job;

setting a background image of the recording medium; and

generating the display image using the color of the recording medium identified by the identification means, the background image set by the setting means, and the print data.
