Patent Images
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a display control unit configured to display a preview screen including a preview image of a first sheet in which a non-mirror image of a first page to be printed on an obverse face of the first sheet and a mirror image of a second page to be printed on a reverse face of the first sheet are overlapped, and a preview image of a second sheet following the first sheet in which a non-mirror image of a third page to be printed on an obverse face of the second sheet and a mirror image of a fourth page to be printed on a reverse face of the second sheet are overlapped, based on data which an application outputs and a double-sided printing setting set by a printer driver; and
a setting unit configured to set preview density for a perspective display,wherein the mirror images of the second and fourth pages are displayed in the preview screen based on the preview density.

Abstract
Defect-free printing is achieved by previewing on a display prior to printing, device functions and print specifications. Preview of double-sided faces is concurrently provided when double-sided printing is specified. Display is performed by generation of data which allows print preview that reflects consideration of device information and document data. Data is generated for perspective-reverse-face preview when page-specification information is set for double-sided faces.
