Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus for converting an image drawn based on draw information into a print command and transmitting the print command to a printer, comprising: an accumulating unit, configured to accumulate draw information for an entire area of a recording medium if borderless printing is designated and draw information for a printable area of the recording medium if bordered printing is designated; a determining unit, configured to determine whether the borderless printing is designated; a discriminating unit, configured to discriminate whether the borderless printing can be executed for the recording medium based on a sense result received from the printer; and an executing unit, configured to transmit a borderless print command to the printer such that an image is printed based on the draw information for the entire area accumulated by said accumulating unit without size change, if said determining unit determines that the borderless printing is designated and if said discriminating unit discriminates that the borderless printing can be executed for the recording medium, wherein said executing unit transmits a bordered print command to the printer such that an image is printed based on the draw information for the entire area accumulated by said accumulating unit with size reduction, if said determining unit determines that the borderless printing is designated and if said discriminating unit discriminates that the borderless printing cannot be executed for the recording medium, and wherein said executing unit transmits a bordered print command to the printer such that an image is printed based on the draw information for the printable area accumulated by said accumulating unit without size change, if said determining unit determines that the borderless printing is not designated.
