Patent ID: 8582169

Claim:
A print controlling device comprising: an acquiring unit that is configured to acquire original image data representing an original image, the original image having a size larger than a size of a recording sheet; a dividing unit that is configured to divide the original image data into a plurality of sets of divisional image data, the plurality of sets of divisional image data representing a plurality of divisional images, each divisional image having a size same as the size of recording sheet, each divisional image including an image region and a margin region that is different from the image region, at least one border side being defined as a border between the image region and the margin region, each border side having at least one partition line segments, the image region representing a part of original image, the original image consisting of the image regions of the plurality divisional images, the image region having a colorant area and a blank area that is different from the colorant area, the colorant area being to be printed with a colorant by a printing device; a first determining unit that is configured to determine, if the colorant area abuts a border side of the at least one border side, whether or not a partition line segment of the at least one partition line segment abuts the colorant area in the divisional image based on the divisional image data; and a print data generating unit that is configured to generate print data by modifying each set of divisional image data, the print data representing a print image that is to be printed on the recording sheet by the printing device; wherein the print data generating unit modifies, when the first determining unit determines that the partition line segment abuts the colorant area, the divisional image data such that at least part of the partition line segment is omitted in the print image, and wherein the print data generating unit modifies, if the colorant area does not abut a border side of the at least one border side, the divisional image data such that the at least one partition line segment is printed on the border side in the print image.
