Abstract:
1. A print controlling apparatus for controlling a printing device which performs a marginless recording to edges of a roll-shaped recording medium based on image data of an original image, a length of a width direction of the original image being shorter than a length of a vertical direction of the original image, comprising: a setting unit configured to set a width of the recording medium, the width of the recording medium corresponding to the width of the original image; a specifying unit configured to specify scaling ratio of the image data of the original image based on the width of the recording medium and protruding amounts from the width of the recording medium for the marginless recording to the edge of the recording medium; and a determining unit configured to determine an output size of a vertical direction as an output size of a printed matter outputted by the printing device by subtracting a predetermined length from a length obtained by scaling the image data based on the scaling ratio specified by the specifying unit, the output size of the vertical direction determined by the determining unit being longer than the length of the vertical direction of the original image but being shorter than the length of the vertical direction of the scaled image data based on the specified scaling ratio.
