Title:
INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/170787
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A calculating unit calculates, as a reference number N of scans, a sum by adding 1 to a product M of the number m of scans in a main-scanning direction and the number n of scans in a sub-scanning direction. An assigning unit assigns, as a count of scans indicating a scan order, an integer 1 or more and the product M or more to each pixel of a unit image. A changing unit changes the count of scans of some pixels to which a first scan is assigned to an N-th scan. The generating unit generates print data, in which nozzle groups from a nozzle group arranged on a downstream end in the sub-scanning direction to a nozzle group arranged on an upstream end are sequentially assigned to pixels from the pixels to which the first scan is assigned to the pixels to which the N-th scan is assigned.
