Patent ID: 7973964

Claim:
A computer-readable recording medium recorded with a printing program, the printing program causing a processor of a computer to execute an operation of attaching commentary string data representing a commentary string to print data, the printing program causing the processor to execute: a first step of calculating a rendering area of the print data stored in a storing section of the computer as a primary rendering area based on the print data, and calculating a rendering area of the commentary string data to be attached to the print data as a sub rendering area based on the commentary string data; a second step of judging whether the primary rendering area and the sub rendering area overlap each other, and judging whether at least a part of the sub rendering area is deviated from an effective printing area; a third step of changing the commentary string data to edit the commentary string in such a manner that the primary rendering area and the sub rendering area do not overlap each other, and that the entirety of the sub rendering area is located within the effective printing area, if at least one of the judgment results in the second step is affirmative; and a fourth step of attaching the changed commentary string data to the print data.
