Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to obtain setting information regarding print settings for first printing employing a plate and output information based on the setting information with respect to whether second printing that does not employ a plate and that is based on the print settings for the first printing is possible.

Claims (36)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to:

obtain setting information regarding print settings for a first printing employing an offset printing plate;

determine whether there is an image forming apparatus capable of performing a second printing that does not employ an offset printing plate and that is based on the print settings for the first printing; and

output information based on the setting information with respect to whether the image forming apparatus is capable of performing the second printing,

wherein the first printing and the second printing use common image data.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

output information based on the setting information and an item of a predetermined print setting settable in an image forming apparatus that performs the second printing.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the second printing based on the print settings for the first printing is printing in which an item of a print setting settable for the second printing and an item of the print setting for the first printing have a predetermined relationship.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the print setting is a type of recording medium on which the first printing has been performed and/or a type of specification determined for color of an image formed as a result of the first printing.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, if it is determined that there are a plurality of image forming apparatuses capable of performing the second printing based on the print settings for the first printing, the processor is configured to:

output information regarding each of the image forming apparatuses capable of performing the second printing based on the print settings.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to:

output information regarding the print settings for the second printing performed by each of the image forming apparatuses.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

set a size of a recording medium to be used in the second printing on a basis of an item of the print setting settable in an image forming apparatus capable of performing the second printing based on the print settings for the first printing.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is configured to:

set arrangement of an image on the recording medium to be used in the second printing on a basis of the set size of the recording medium and an item of a setting for post-processing settable in a post-processing apparatus that performs the post-processing on the recording medium on which the second printing has been performed.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to:

set, on a basis of the item of the setting for the post-processing settable in the post-processing apparatus, a position on the recording medium at which an image for identifying a timing of the post-processing to be performed by the post-processing apparatus is to be formed.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, if determining that there is no image forming apparatus capable of performing the second printing based on an item having a predetermined relationship with an item of a predetermined one of the print settings for the first printing, the processor is configured to:

output information regarding the item.

11. The information processing apparatus according claim 1 , wherein, if determining that there is no image forming apparatus capable of performing the second printing based on a same item as an item of a predetermined one of the print settings for the first printing, the processor is configured to:

output information regarding an item having a predetermined relationship with the item of the predetermined one of the print settings for the first printing.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

set, on a basis of an item of a setting for post-processing settable in a post-processing apparatus that performs the post-processing on a recording medium on which the second printing has been performed, an area of the recording medium to be cut off by the post-processing apparatus.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

obtaining setting information regarding print settings for a first printing employing an offset printing plate;

determining whether there is an image forming apparatus capable of performing a second printing that does not employ an offset printing plate and that is based on the print settings for the first printing; and

outputting information based on the setting information with respect to whether the image forming apparatus is capable of performing the second printing,

wherein the first printing and the second printing use common image data.

14. An information processing apparatus comprising:

means for obtaining setting information regarding print settings for a first printing employing an offset printing plate; and

means for determining whether there is an image forming apparatus capable of performing a second printing that does not employ an offset printing plate and that is based on the print settings for the first printing; and

means for outputting information based on the setting information with respect to whether the image forming apparatus is capable of performing the second printing,

wherein the first printing and the second printing use common image data.
