Embodiment Construction
[0022] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. 1 shows the configuration of an information processing device PC (personal computer) 1 and a plurality of image forming devices 2 (printer 2a, printer 2b, multifunction peripheral 2c, multifunction peripheral 2d) having a printer function as an embodiment of the present invention. block diagram. The multifunction machines 2c and 2d are copiers having a printer function. Hereinafter, the multifunction device is also collectively referred to as a printer. The PC1 and the printers 2a, 2b, 2c, and 2d are connected through a network and have the possibility of communication. The number of printers 2 connected to this network is arbitrary.
[0023] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the mechanical and functional configuration of PC1 in one embodiment of the present invention. As a mechanical configuration, the PC 1 includes a bus B and a processing unit 1a connected via the bus B, an...

The invention provides an information processing device, whose PC includes: a printer group storage portion that stores a group made up of two or more printers, a print command acceptance portion that accepts an image formation job to form an image on a recording sheet, a data dividing portion that divides the image formation job accepted at the print command acceptance portion in units of pages for the respective printers in the group stored in the group storage portion, and a job transmission portion that distributes respective segments of the image formation job divided by the data dividing portion to the respective printers for the image forming job to be executed, are provided. The dividing portion divides the image formation job so that the segments of the image formation job distributed to the respective printers end almost simultaneously.
Description
technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device that entrusts an image forming job to an image forming device, and an image forming system including the information processing device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in order to shorten the time until printing is completed, a print job on a PC (personal computer) is divided, and each divided print job is executed by a different printer. For example, Patent Document 1 below describes a print job distribution method in which a client computer divides a print job and sends each print job part to a plurality of network printers. Also, Patent Document 2 below describes a file management system that divides an image forming job and distributes printing to a plurality of printers when a user selects distributed printing. In this system, the number of copies to be printed on each printer is manually input by the user. [0003] [Patent Document 1] JP-A-11-296333 [0004] [Paten...
