Abstract

A display device (1) includes a receiving section (11), a generating section (12), and a display section (40). The receiving section (11) receives an arrangement setting that is a setting by which a page image P is arranged in formation of the page image P on a sheet. The generating section (12) generates based on the arrangement setting a preview image (AP) in which an identification image D identifying the page image P is disposed. The display section (40) displays the preview image (AP). A location of the identification image D in the preview image (AP) indicates a location of the page image P when the page image P is formed on the sheet. The identification image D has a data size smaller than a data size of the page image P.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A display device comprising:
a receiving section configured to receive an arrangement setting, the arrangement setting being a setting by which a page image is arranged in formation of the page image on a sheet;
a generating section configured to generate based on the arrangement setting a preview image in which an identification image identifying the page image is arranged; and
a display section configured to display the preview image, wherein
a location of the identification image in the preview image indicates a location of the page image when the page image is formed on the sheet,
the identification image has a data size smaller than a data size of the page image,
the identification image includes a page number image indicating a page number of the page image,
the page image includes a character string image including a plurality of characters,
the page number image includes a plurality of characters, and
the generating section changes a direction in which the characters included in the page number image are arranged according to a direction in which the characters included in the character string image are arranged.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the identification image is an image which is different from a reduced-size image of the page image, the reduced-size image being the page image reduced in size, and
the data size of the identification image is smaller than a data size of the reduced-size image.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
in a case in which the page image includes a picture, the generating section causes the identification image to include an icon image, and
the icon image has a data size smaller than a data size of the picture.

4. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein
the icon image is a display device icon image pre-stored in the display device or a processed image obtained by processing the display device icon image.

5. A display device comprising:
a receiving section configured to receive an arrangement setting, the arrangement setting being a setting by which a page image is arranged in formation of the page image on a sheet;
a generating section configured to generate based on the arrangement setting a preview image in which an identification image identifying the page image is arranged; and
a display section configured to display the preview image, wherein
a location of the identification image in the preview image indicates a location of the page image when the page image is formed on the sheet,
the identification image has a data size smaller than a data size of the page image,
the identification image includes a page number image indicating a page number of the page image,
the page image includes a character string image including a plurality of characters,
the page number image includes a plurality of characters, and
the generating section changes a type of the characters included in the page number image according to a type of the characters included in the character string image.

6. A display device comprising:
a receiving section configured to receive an arrangement setting, the arrangement setting being a setting by which a page image is arranged in formation of the page image on a sheet;
a generating section configured to generate based on the arrangement setting a preview image in which an identification image identifying the page image is arranged;
a display section configured to display the preview image; and
a detecting section configured to detect an operation on the preview image displayed on the display section, wherein
a location of the identification image in the preview image indicates a location of the page image when the page image is formed on the sheet,
the identification image has a data size smaller than a data size of the page image,
the page image includes a plurality of page images,
the identification image includes a plurality of identification images,
when the detecting section detects the operation on the preview image, the display section displays an identification image of the identification images which is different from a currently displayed identification image of the identification images, and
when the detecting section detects at least one of: the operation on the preview image a specific number of times or more; elapse of a specific time period from detection of the operation on the preview image; and display of a specific number of preview images, the display section replaces the identification image included in the preview image with the page image.
