IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a position deciding component configured to decide a printing position of an identification code according to a print setting designated for printing target data;
an identification code generating component configured to generate the identification code including link information for designating the printing target data saved in a saving component;
a combining component configured to combine bitmap data for the generated identification code into a printing position in bitmap data generated from the printing target data, wherein the printing position is decided by the position deciding component; and
an output component configured to output the combined bitmap data, wherein when the print setting is set to reduction layout printing performed on the precondition that a plurality of logical pages are printed on a physical page and that the printed matter is handled on a physical page basis, the position deciding component decides on the physical page a printing position of an identification code including link information for designating printing target data corresponding to the plurality of logical pages and the identification code generating component generates the identification code including link information for designating printing target data corresponding to the plurality of logical pages.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus is provided which determines a printing position of an identification code in accordance with a print setting designated for printing target data. For example, it makes a decision as to which one of the cutting printing, poster printing, job-based printing (such as bookbinding printing or staple printing), 2-sided printing, and other printing (such as normal layout printing and reduction layout (Nup) printing) is designated, and decides the printing position of a two-dimensional code. In page layout printing, the two-dimensional code is output in a mode suitable for source document data after page layout.

10. A method of processing an image comprising the steps of:
-
deciding, by the position deciding component, a printing position of an identification code according to a print setting designated for printing target data; generating, by the identification code generating component, the identification code including link information for designating the printing target data saved in the saving component; combining, by the combining component, bitmap data for the generated identification code into a printing position in bitmap data generated from the printing target data, wherein the printing position is decided at the deciding step; and outputting the combined bitmap data by the output component, wherein when the print setting is set to reduction layout printing performed on the precondition that a plurality of logical pages are printed on a physical page and that the printed matter is handled on a physical page basis, a printing position of an identification code including link information for designating printing target data corresponding to the plurality of logical pages is decided on the physical page at the deciding step and the identification code including link information for designating printing target data corresponding to the plurality of logical pages is generated at the generating step.
