Abstract
Provided is an image processing apparatus that draws a cross-section to be trimmed. The data position acquisition unit acquires the print data and the position of the cut line trimmed after printing with the print data. The cross-section drawing unit draws, for each page of the print data, a fragment text and/or image visible on trimmed cross-section from the position of the cut line acquired by the data position acquisition unit to a specific range. At this time, the cross-section drawing unit may draw the fragment when the print data has equal or greater than a specific number of pages. Further, the cross-section drawing unit may adjust drawing of the fragment according to thickness of recording paper to be printed.
