Abstract:
1. A print control apparatus that transmits print data and attribute information to a printing apparatus and controls the printing apparatus, which is connected to the print control apparatus, the printing apparatus comprising a printing section that prints the print data and a display that displays the attribute information regarding the print data and storing a predetermined character code associated with a character or a symbol displayed on the display, the print control apparatus comprising: a code system information request unit that requests the printing apparatus to transmit information of a code system of the character code stored in the printing apparatus; a code system receiving unit that receives information of the code system transmitted from the printing apparatus in response to request of the code system information request unit; an operation input unit that is operated by a user to input specified information; a character code storing unit that stores a predetermined character code associated with a character or a symbol in each code system; and an attribute information input unit that inputs attribute information according to a code system received by the code system receiving unit among code systems associated with the character code stored in the character code storing unit in response to inputting the attribute information by the operation input unit; a display section that displays a character or a symbol; and an attribute information display unit that displays the attribute information input by the attribute information input unit on the display section, wherein the attribute information input unit comprises: a judgment unit that selects a character or a symbol associated with an input operation in a predetermined basic code system, which inputs ordinary information in response to inputting the attribute information by the operation input unit, and judges whether or not the selected character or symbol is attributed to the code system received by the code system receiving unit; and an invalid display unit that indicates on the display section that the input character or symbol is not allowed to be input in response to judging the input character or symbol by the judgment unit not to be attributed to the received code system.
