Patent ID: 8514413

Claim:
An image processing apparatus connected to a print control device that controls a single printer to print a first image on a first side of one of a plurality of continuous forms arranged in a predetermined first direction and to print a second image on a second side of another one of the continuous forms, the image processing apparatus comprising: a first generating unit that generates a first corrected image; a second generating unit that generates a second corrected image; and a transmission unit that transmits the first corrected image and the second corrected image to the print control device, wherein the first generating unit generates the first corrected image by adding an adjustment image to one edge in the predetermined first direction of the first image such that a length of the first image in the predetermined first direction is equal to an integral multiple of a predetermined boundary size, the second generating unit generates the second corrected image by adding the adjustment image to both edges in the predetermined first direction of the second image such that a length of the second image in the predetermined first direction is equal to the integral multiple of the predetermined boundary size, and the second generation unit generates the second corrected image by adding the adjustment image, having a length in the predetermined first direction equal to a difference between a leading head address obtained by subtracting the length in the predetermined first direction of the second image from a length in the predetermined first direction of a print area and a value equal to the integral multiple of the predetermined boundary size, provided that the value is smaller than the leading head address, to both edges in the predetermined first direction of the second image such that the length of the second image in the predetermined first direction is equal to the integral multiple of the predetermined boundary size.
