Describe the step that is used for creating sheet material back side mirror image in detail below with reference to Fig. 8 A.
At S801, Y is set to as 0 of default value.At S802, X is set to as 0 of default value.Should be noted that because image simply overturns at horizontal direction, so image does not deflect away from sheet material.Xe represents the sheet material transverse width, and Ye represents the vertical width of sheet material.The two all can obtain Xe and Ye by known method.At S803, pixel location data (X, Y) be replaced by (Xe-X, Y).At S804, X increases progressively 1, becomes greater than Xe (S805 is) up to X.After this, at S806, Y increases progressively 1, becomes greater than Ye (S807 is), end process sequence up to Y.
Fig. 9 is illustrated in the change the mirror image at the preview image in the sheet material front that shows side by side on the Print Preview screen under the situation that the hole beaten is moved to the left and the sheet material back side when from the sheet material top view.As shown in Figure 9, because punch position is identical in two images, therefore the hole of being beaten in two images is moved to the left.Can by another display unit show the preview image that wherein is combined with the sheet material front and the sheet material back side preview image mirror image in conjunction with preview image.
Referring now to Figure 10 and Figure 11 the screen that shows is described on LCD touch panel 51 when adjusting punch position.
Figure 10 is illustrated in the LCD touch panel 51 that shows on the operation-interface 4.Operation-interface 4 shown in Figure 10 has the configuration identical with the configuration of operation-interface shown in Figure 64.
When image button 58 is finished in the affirmation on pushing LCD touch panel 51, read original document, and screen 64 shown in Figure 11 is presented on the LCD touch panel 51.On screen 64, each when push " → " or " ← " button, move the position of punching at the mirror image at the preview image in sheet material front and the sheet material back side in the two.Along with the number of times of pushing " → " or " ← " button increases, punch position moves more and more far from its home position.When the start button 55 on the pressing operation interface 4, carry out duplex printing, come sheet material is punched according to input setting.
It is stacked to form the Print Preview screen of synthetic preview image describing the mirror image at the preview image in sheet material front wherein and the sheet material back side now combined.
According to aforementioned exemplary embodiment, the mirror image at the preview image in sheet material front and the sheet material back side separates demonstration side by side on the Print Preview screen.Thereby when punch position was moved to the left 5mm in the preview image in sheet material front, on the Print Preview screen, punch position also was moved to the left 5mm in the mirror image at the sheet material back side.
Yet because the mirror image at the preview image in sheet material front and the sheet material back side separates demonstration on the Print Preview screen, therefore, the punch position on the sheet material two sides needs to adjust respectively.Particularly, require the user on print preview image, check the preview image in sheet material front and the sheet material back side mirror image the two, be suitable for the corrected value that is used for mobile punch position on sheet material two sides with setting.
Multi-function printer 100 according to exemplary embodiment shows the Print Preview screen, and in described Print Preview screen, the mirror image at the preview image in sheet material front and the sheet material back side is combined into single stacked synthetic preview image.As a result of, the user can easily check in the preview image of combination at the relative position of the two sides of sheet material epigraph with the hole of being beaten, thereby convenient user is provided with the operation of the punch position that is suitable for the sheet material two sides.
Figure 12 illustrates the preview image of the combination that shows on the Print Preview screen, and wherein, the preview image in the sheet material front that illustrates respectively among Fig. 9 and the mirror image at the sheet material back side are combined, promptly stacked, to form synthetic preview image.
Describe an example being used in conjunction with the method for the mirror image at the preview image in as shown in Figure 12 sheet material front and the sheet material back side below in detail.
At first, the mirror image at the preview image in sheet material front and the sheet material back side is divided into pixel respectively.Subsequently, the pixel at same coordinate place in the mirror image at the preview image in comparison sheet material front and the sheet material back side.When pixel is present in the preview image in sheet material front, but when not being present in the mirror image at the sheet material back side, this pixel in the preview image in sheet material front adopts in conjunction with preview image.The mirror image that is present in the preview image in sheet material front and the sheet material back side when same pixel is in the two the time, and this pixel in the preview image in sheet material front adopts in conjunction with preview image.In the case, this pixel is shown as the black that is used for black and white image.Yet when image was colour, perhaps this pixel in the mirror image at this pixel in the preview image in sheet material front or the sheet material back side adopted in conjunction with preview image.At this, this pixel shows with the color of this pixel in the preview image in sheet material front.
By comparison, when the pixel in the preview image that is not present in the sheet material front was present in the mirror image at the sheet material back side, this pixel in the mirror image at the sheet material back side adopted in conjunction with preview image.When pixel neither is present in the preview image in sheet material front, when also not being present in the mirror image at the sheet material back side, determine that not having pixel in conjunction with this coordinate place in the preview image exists.
Describe the step that is used in conjunction with the mirror image at the preview image in sheet material front and the sheet material back side in detail below with reference to Figure 13.
At S1301, first pixel at same coordinate place in the preview image in comparison sheet material front and the mirror image at the sheet material back side.At S1302, carry out the judgement in the preview image whether this pixel be present in the sheet material front.When this pixel is present in the preview image in sheet material front (S1302 is), at S1303, this pixel in the preview image in sheet material front adopts in conjunction with preview image.
Then, at S1304, judge above-mentioned the judging whether of carrying out at S1302 at all pixels execution.When the above-mentioned judgement of carrying out at S1302 is carried out at all pixels as yet (S1304 denys), at S1305, next pixel at same coordinate place compares mutually in the mirror image at the preview image in sheet material front and the sheet material back side.After this, S1302 is returned in processing.
When this pixel is not present in the preview image in sheet material front (S1302 not), handle proceeding to S1306 and judge whether this pixel is present in the mirror image at the sheet material back side.When this pixel is present in the mirror image at the sheet material back side (S1306 is), at S1307, this pixel in the mirror image at the sheet material back side adopts in conjunction with preview image, handles to proceed to S1304.When this pixel is not present in the mirror image at the sheet material back side (S1306 not),, determine that not having pixel in conjunction with this coordinate place in the preview image exists at S1308.
When carrying out above-mentioned steps (S1304 is) at all pixels, the end process sequence.
Be described in now in conjunction with the process of switching the Print Preview screen between preview image and the normal preview image.
Combined when the mirror image at the preview image in sheet material front and the sheet material back side, when being presented on the Print Preview screen in conjunction with preview image, as mentioned above, the punch position that is suitable for the sheet material two sides can be set easily.Yet because combine image on the sheet material two sides, so in the image any one all do not clearly illustrate on the Print Preview screen.The result is that the user is difficult to confirm reliably image.
In order to solve such problem, the Print Preview screen can switch between in conjunction with preview image and normal preview image, the preview image of each in the described normal preview image in the sheet material front and back separates demonstration side by side, thus, by normal preview image being provided and, strengthening user convenience in conjunction with the two advantage of preview image.
The user can be switched the Print Preview screen at normal preview image with between in conjunction with preview image by using operation-interface 4.Figure 14 is illustrated in normal preview image and in conjunction with the switching between the preview image.
Figure 15 is illustrated in normal preview image and in conjunction with the switching of Print Preview screen between the preview image.As shown in figure 15, demonstration switching push button 67 is set on the screen 65 and 66 that is shown on the LCD touch panel 51.Show that by pushing switching push button 67 switches the Print Preview screen.Can come in response to indication by another display unit, show in conjunction with preview image or normal preview image from the user.
Automatically the method for calculating the corrected value that is used for mobile punch position is described now.
When mobile punch position, require the user to use the relative position in ruler actual measurement image and hole of being beaten on original document or Print Preview screen, obtain to be used for the corrected value of mobile punch position.Perhaps, require the user repeatedly to import exploratory value as required, till punch position suitably is arranged on the Print Preview screen as corrected value.
Multi-function printer 100 according to exemplary embodiment is configured to, and when within the scope in the hole of being beaten image being arranged, calculates the corrected value that is used for mobile punch position automatically, and to the user notification corrected value that calculates like this.As a result of, the user can easily obtain to be used for the suitable corrected value of mobile punch position, simplifies user's operation.Can obtain to finish the position of option by a deriving means.
The part that Figure 16 illustrates image is positioned at the example of the preview image within the hole scope of being beaten.In Figure 16, some A is the image left hand edge nearest apart from the sheet material left hand edge.Can by another deriving means obtain in conjunction with in the image in the preview image near the location of pixels at one of four edges of sheet material.Under the next situation about image being printed on the sheet material with this state, when the hole of being beaten along the sheet material left hand edge forms as shown in figure 16 was used to bind, the user may can't see the image around the A.
In order to solve such problem,, be used for the corrected value of mobile punch position with automatic calculating according to the coordinate at the multi-function printer 100 comparison point A places of exemplary embodiment and the coordinate of punching place.In example shown in Figure 16,100 corrected values that calculate automatically of multi-function printer are d mm.Describe a kind of method that is used for calculated correction value in detail below with reference to Figure 18 A.
Figure 17 illustrates and is shown to be used for to user prompt punch position being moved to the left the example of the guiding message of d mm.At this, as mentioned above, vertically form the hole of being beaten along the sheet material left hand edge.In the case, distance between sheet material left hand edge and the some A and the distance between sheet material left hand edge and the punch position compare.As a result of, when an A is nearer apart from the sheet material left hand edge than punch position apart from the sheet material left hand edge, on LCD touch panel 51, show the guiding message that punch position is moved to the left to user prompt.On the other hand, when an A is nearer apart from the sheet material left hand edge unlike punch position, on LCD touch panel 51, do not show guiding message.Form under the situation in the hole of being beaten at top, right side or bottom margin along sheet material, each in use point A and the punch position carried out above-mentioned processing apart from the distance that relative edges is arranged of sheet material.Can come based on the relative position of finishing option and pixel by a judging unit, judge whether the position of finishing option need be with respect to moving in conjunction with the image in the preview image.Can come when needing to move the message of finishing option, and to be used for the mobile corrected value of finishing option by a notification unit based on what the relative position of finishing option and pixel calculated to user notification.
Describe the step of calculating the corrected value that is used for mobile punch position automatically in detail with reference to Figure 18 A.At S1701, Y is set to as 0 of default value, and Xmin is set to Xe.Xe is the maximum by the Xmin of known method acquisition, the transverse width of expression sheet material.Then, at S1702, X is set to as 0 of default value.At S1703, carry out whether pixel is present in coordinate (X, judgement Y).(X, in the time of Y) (S1703 denys), at S1704, X increases progressively 1 when this pixel is not present in coordinate.At S1705, whether carry out X greater than the judgement of Xe.(S1705 denys) handled and returned S1703 when X is not more than Xe.By comparison, (whether X in the time of Y) (S1703 is), at S1706, carries out X less than the judgement of Xmin when this pixel is present in coordinate.As X during less than Xmin (S1706 is), at S1707, Xmin is set to X.Subsequently, at S1708, Y increases progressively 1.At S1709, whether carry out Y greater than the judgement of Ye.(S1709 denys) handled and returned S1702 when Y is not more than Ye.On the other hand, as Y during greater than Ye (S1709 is), Xmin is designated the X coordinate near the pixel of sheet material left hand edge.
After this, at S1710, deduct Xmin from Xp, in the hope of difference d, wherein Xp is the X coordinate of the hole right hand edge beaten.At S1711, carry out difference d whether greater than 0 judgement.When difference d (S1711 is) greater than 0 the time, at S1712, guiding message shown in Figure 17 is presented on the LCD touch panel 51, the end process sequence.By comparison, (S1711 denys), end process sequence at this moment when difference d is not more than 0.
