More specifically, for example, can be achieved as follows formation, promptly with above-mentioned embodiment structure much at one shown in Figure 1 in carry out the processing that Fig. 6 represents.That is, be used in the stamp mark filtrator 115 represented among Fig. 1～play up filtrator 140 and constitute a plurality of filter process unit and filter process control module.In addition, the printing information display module of being represented by Fig. 1 150 constitutes temporary transient interruption page receiving element, and the temporary transient interruption button 265A by the printing information display window 170 represented in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 etc. receives the temporary transient indication of interrupting the page.
Then, by the processing of stamp mark filtrator 115～play up expression in filtrator 140 execution graphs 6.In Fig. 6, the relevant processing of temporary transient interruption of expression and the page of each filtrator, and the filtrator of execution is earlier represented as upper filtrator.In this was handled, CPU received page data (step S500) from upper filtrator.Promptly, at stamp mark filtrator 115～play up in the filtrator 140, pre-determine from the filtrator corresponding and begin to handle in proper order with little numbering, in this embodiment, each filtrator obtain at first one by one upper filtrator handle and finish after page data.And, in stamp mark filtrator 115, there is not upper filtrator, obtain page data so merge module 108 from task.In addition, at this, the represented page of page data that will get access in step S500 is called current page.
Then CPU obtains the condition information (step S503) of the page of current page front, and judges whether the page of current page front has been in temporary transient the interruption (step S505).Promptly, when having carried out temporary transient interruption indication at the page arbitrarily, comprise that in condition information this page of expression is the information in temporary transient the interruption, so judge with reference to the condition information relevant whether the page of current page front is in temporary transient the interruption with the page of current page front.
When the page that is judged as the current page front in step S505 has been in temporary transient the interruption time, in this embodiment, other the page is not temporarily interrupted and continues filter process.For this reason, CPU carries out filter process (step S510) to current page.Then, current page has been carried out after the filter process, CPU transmits (step S515) with this page data to the next filtrator.In addition, in playing up filtrator 140, there is not the next filtrator, so page data is transmitted to printing treatment module 185.
On the other hand, when the page that is not judged as the current page front in step S505 is in temporary transient the interruption time, CPU obtains the condition information (step S525) of current page, and judges whether current page has been carried out temporary transient interruption indication (step S530).Promptly, if the temporary transient interruption button 265A of printing information display window 170 etc. is operated, then in the condition information of current page, write and carried out temporary transient interruption indication, so CPU with reference to the condition information of current page, judge with the corresponding current page of page data that in step S500, gets access to whether be in temporary transient the interruption.
When in step S530, not being judged as when current page carried out temporary transient interruption indication, carry out the later processing of step S510.When in step S530, being judged as when current page carried out temporary transient interruption indication, CPU stops the filter process relevant with current page and page data before will being suitable for filter process is saved in external memory etc. (step S535), and the later processing of execution in step S520.
After step S515 and S535, judge whether this current page is the final page (step S520) of document.When in step S520, being judged as current page when being the final page of document, CPU obtains the page data of being preserved (step S540) in step S535, and, the page data after carrying out is transmitted (step S545, S550) to the next filtrator to this page data that gets access to execution filter process.
By each page is carried out above processing successively, constitute the temporary transient interruption that can carry out filter process at the page arbitrarily, carried out having no progeny in temporary transient and carried out this temporary transient later filter process of the page of interrupting earlier.In addition, have no progeny in temporary transient having carried out, if, then recover filter process to the page of temporary transient interruption to comprising that this temporary transient final page that interrupts the document of the page handles.Therefore, can temporarily interrupt by making the processing of the page arbitrarily, with the desirable page printing at last at document.
And, in the above-described embodiment, though constitute when being with specific filter process in temporary transient the interruption time to certain page, the page to other can not temporarily interrupt this specific filter process, but certainly, also can constitute when being with specific filter process in temporary transient the interruption time to certain page, can temporarily interrupt this specific filter process other the page.And then, in the above-described embodiment, carried out after the temporary transient interruption though constitute, at current page is under the situation of final page, the processing of the page that recovery is temporarily interrupted, but certainly also can constitute arbitrarily for example (constantly, suppose to constitute by pressing " recovering to handle " button after the above-mentioned temporary transient interruption button 265A etc. and receive and recover indication, and when by should " recover to handle " when button receives and recovers to indicate) the recovery filter process.
(4) also can constitute when temporary transient interruption has been carried out in the processing of arbitrary document, this temporary transient later document of document that interrupts is proceeded to handle.
That is, a kind of print control, it generates the printed data of described document by each page of being handled a plurality of documents by a plurality of filter process sequence of unit, can constitute to possess:
The temporary transient document receiving element that interrupts, it receives the appointment of temporary transient interruption based on the temporary transient interruption document of the processing of described a plurality of filter process unit; With
The filter process control module, it is when receiving the appointment of described temporary transient interruption document, interrupt processing at described temporary transient interruption document, and proceed processing based on described a plurality of filter process unit at the described document beyond the described temporary transient interruption document based on described a plurality of filter process unit.
According to above structure, can temporarily interrupt the page and the first processing of carrying out at other the page arbitrarily.
In addition, in the filter process control module, also can receive to make and handle the temporary transient indication of interrupting at the document in handling in any of a plurality of described filter process unit.In this structure, to preserving, and proceed processing based on the filter process unit at the document beyond the document that is temporarily interrupted based on the data before the filter process.Then, once more carry out filter process in the moment of the regulation that should recover to handle with reference to these maintained data at the document that is temporarily interrupted.In this structure, can carry out temporary transient Interrupt Process at any filter process in a plurality of filter process unit.And the moment of regulation both can be the moment that receives the indication that recovers the temporary transient processing of interrupting the page, also can be to carry out and relevant processing moment afterwards of the final page in the document.
More specifically, for example, can be implemented in the described embodiment of above-mentioned Fig. 1 structure much at one in carry out the processing that Fig. 7 represents structure.That is, a plurality of filter process unit, filter process control module, filtrator are recovered processing and control element (PCE) by stamp mark filtrator 115 shown in Figure 1～play up filtrator 140 to constitute.In addition, constitute temporary transient interruption document receiving element by printing information display module 150 shown in Figure 1, and the temporary transient interruption button 300A by the printing information display window 170 represented in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 etc. receives the temporary transient indication of interrupting document, receives and recovers indication by pressing " recovering to handle " button after the temporary transient interruption button 300A.
Then, carry out processing shown in Figure 7 by stamp mark filtrator 115～play up filtrator 140.At this, also the filtrator that will carry out is earlier represented as upper filtrator.In this was handled, CPU received page data (step S600) from upper filtrator.Promptly, at stamp mark filtrator 115～play up in the filtrator 140, pre-determine from the filtrator corresponding and begin to handle in proper order with little numbering, in this embodiment, each filtrator obtain at first one by one upper filtrator handle and finish after page data.And, in stamp mark filtrator 115, there is not upper filtrator, obtain page data so merge module 108 from task.In addition, at this, the page or leaf that the page data that gets access to is represented is called current page, comprises that the document of current page is called current document.
Then CPU obtains the condition information (step S603) of the document of current document front, judges whether the document of current document front has been temporary transient interruption (step S605).Promptly, when having carried out temporary transient interruption indication at document arbitrarily, comprise that in condition information expression the document is the information in temporary transient the interruption, so judge with reference to the condition information relevant whether the document of current document front is in temporary transient the interruption with the document of current document front.
When the document that is judged as the current document front in step S605 has been in temporary transient the interruption time, in this embodiment, does not temporarily interrupt and proceed filter process at other document.For this reason, CPU carries out filter process (step S610) at current page.Then, current page has been carried out after the filter process, CPU transmits (step S615) with this page data to the next filtrator.And, in playing up filtrator 140, there is not the next filtrator, so page data is transmitted to printing treatment module 185.
On the other hand, when the document that is not judged as the current document front in step S605 is in temporary transient the interruption time, CPU obtains the condition information (step S620) of current document, and judges whether to have carried out temporary transient interruption indication (step S625) at current document.Promptly, if the temporary transient interruption button 300A of printing information display window 170 etc. is operated, then in the condition information of current document, write and carried out temporary transient interruption indication, so with reference to the condition information of current document, judging with the page data that gets access to is corresponding, CPU comprises whether the current document of current page is in temporary transient the interruption in step S600.
When in step S625, not being judged as when having carried out temporary transient interruption indication at current document, owing to continue processing to current page, so carry out the later processing of step S610.On the other hand, when in step S625, being judged as when having carried out temporary transient interruption indication at current document, CPU stops the filter process relevant with current document and the document data (the whole page datas that comprise the document of current page) that will be suitable for before the filter process is externally preserved (step S630) in memory storage etc., and the later processing of execution in step S640.That is, even comprise in current document under the situation of the page or leaf that current page is later, also the whole pages or leaves at the current document that comprises this page stop filter process.
After step S610 and S630, judge whether current page is the final page (step S640) of current document.When being judged as current page when not being the final page of current document in step S640, CPU is with regard to the processing of skips steps S645～S665.
On the other hand, when in step S640, being judged as current page when being the final page of current document, CPU obtain with interrupt in the relevant condition information (step S645) of document, and judge whether to have recovered printing (step S650).That is, judge whether to receive the recovery indication by pressing " recovering to handle " buttons afterwards such as temporary transient interruption button 300A.
When in step S650, not being judged as when having recovered printing skips steps S655～S665..In addition, when the condition information that in step S645, can not obtain the document in the interruption (that is, not being temporary transient interruption), in step S650, not being judged as and having recovered printing.
When being judged as in step S650 when having recovered printing, CPU obtains the document data of being preserved (document data of being preserved) (step S655) in S630, and this document data that gets access to is carried out filter process (step S660).Then, the document data after carrying out is transmitted (step S665) to the next filtrator.That is, carry out filter process at the whole pages that comprise in the document that is interrupted, and the data after will carrying out transmit to the next filtrator.
By carrying out above processing successively, constitute and after having carried out temporary transient interruption, to carry out filter process earlier at the temporary transient interruption of the filter process of document execution arbitrarily at the document that the document that is temporarily interrupted is later at each page.In addition, have no progeny in having carried out temporarily, if handle at the final page of document arbitrarily, then the document at temporary transient interruption judges whether to have carried out to recover indication, when having carried out recovering indication, recover filter process at the document that temporarily interrupted, therefore, can recover the printing of the document that temporarily interrupted in the moment of hope.
And, in the above-described embodiment, though when constituting in the filter process of certain document is temporarily interrupted, can not temporarily interrupt the filter process of other document, but certainly, also can constitute when temporarily having interrupted the filter process of certain document, and then can temporarily interrupt the filter process of other document.
(5) also can constitute the setting change that to carry out at the page arbitrarily.
That is, a kind of print control, it generates the printed data of described document by each page of being handled the document that comprises a plurality of pages by a plurality of filter process sequence of unit one by one, can constitute to possess:
Page data is preserved the unit, and it will be preserved in the storage medium of regulation the page data that carries out representing based on described each page before the processing of described a plurality of filter process unit;
Set the change receiving element, the setting change when its reception is carried out based on the processing of described a plurality of filter process unit; With
The filter process control module, it is when receiving the change of described setting, and the processing based on described a plurality of filter process unit is carried out in the setting that is suitable for described change at the page data of described preservation.
According to above structure, can change at the setting of the page arbitrarily and carry out filter process.
In addition, in the filter process control module, also can be received in the setting change of the processing in the filter unit in the processing at the page in handling in any of a plurality of described filter process unit.In this structure, the page data that will carry out before the processing in the filter process unit is preserved, and carries out the filter process that is used to be suitable for the setting of being changed once more at receiving the page of setting the change indication.In this structure, the setting that can change any page at the filter process arbitrarily in a plurality of filter process unit.
More specifically, for example, can be implemented in above-mentioned embodiment structure much at one shown in Figure 1 in carry out processing shown in Figure 8 structure.That is, a plurality of filter process unit, page data are preserved unit, filter process control module by stamp mark filtrator 115 shown in Figure 1～play up filtrator 140 to constitute.In addition, constitute by printing information display module 150 shown in Figure 1 and to set the change receiving element, and set the filtrator of change and become the indication of setting the page that changes object by reception such as setting change button 275A of the printing information display window 170 in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, represented.
Then, carry out processing shown in Figure 8 by stamp mark filtrator 115～play up filtrator 140.Expression is changed relevant processing with the setting in each filtrator in Fig. 8, and at this, also the filtrator that will carry out is earlier represented as upper filtrator.In this was handled, CPU received page data (step S700) from upper filtrator.And, in stamp mark filtrator 115, there is not upper filtrator, obtain page data so merge module 108 from task.In addition, at this, also that the page data that gets access to is represented page or leaf is called current page.
Then CPU will be suitable for page data before the filter process at current page and be kept in the external memory etc. (step S705), and carry out filter process (step S710) at current page.And then CPU obtains the condition information (step S715) of current page, and judges according to this condition information whether current page has been carried out setting change indication (step S720).
When in step S720, being judged as when having carried out setting the change indication, obtain the page data of in step S705, being preserved (step S725), and to this page data that gets access to be suitable for after changing setting and the later processing of repeating step S710 once more.Promptly, each filter process unit is the filtrator that the printing when being used for being suitable for printing such as stamp mark is set, in each page data, comprise the data of representing this setting content, so in each filter process unit, carry out filter process with reference to the data of this setting content of expression.
But, in the process of the filter process in carrying out each filter process unit, when having been undertaken setting the indication of change by setting change button 275A etc., make the data of expression, and carry out filter process once more with reference to the data of this setting content after making of expression according to the setting content of this indication.Therefore, can change to desirable content at the setting in the filter process unit arbitrarily of the page arbitrarily.
On the other hand, in step S720, when be not judged as when having carried out setting the change indication (though when setting the change indication and carried out setting the change indication when not setting change after having carried out reflecting the filter process of this settings change indication and indicating), the page data after the filter process execution is transmitted (step S730) to the next filtrator.
And, in the above-described embodiment,, certainly, also can be that unit receives the setting change with the document though the change unit that printing is set is to be unit with the page, also can receive and set change according to each filter process, can adopt various structures.In addition, also can constitute and to be the temporary transient interruption of unit with the above-mentioned page, to be the temporary transient interruption of unit with the document and to be the embodiment that the setting change of unit is made up with various.
