Abstract:
1. A print preview method, comprising: scanning, via an imaging device, a paper sheet, wherein the paper sheet comprises a first side and a second side, wherein scanning the paper sheet produces an image; acquiring, via a printing image acquisition unit, a printing image; printing, via an image forming apparatus, the printing image; controlling, via a display control unit, a display device to display, if the produced image includes an image of a paper sheet, a composite image in which the acquired printing image and the image of the paper sheet included in the produced image are combined; detecting, via a rotational direction detection unit, if the paper sheet is turned over from the first side to the second side, a rotational direction in which the paper sheet is turned over with respect to the paper sheet; and setting, via a binding orientation setting unit, a binding orientation for double-sided printing performed on the image forming apparatus, wherein: the rotational direction detection unit detects, if the produced image includes the image of the paper sheet, the rotational direction with respect to the paper sheet; and the binding orientation setting unit sets the binding orientation corresponding to the detected rotational direction.
