摘要

A data storing unit stores therein first data that includes replaceable data and can be printed by a printing unit or generate print data to be printed. A map-information storing unit stores therein data identification information for identifying the replaceable data and its position in the first data in association with each other. A replacement-data obtaining unit obtains the data identification information and replacement data for replacing the replaceable data. A data generating unit generates second data in which the replaceable data is replaced with the replacement data at the position corresponding to the data identification information.
