Abstract

A variable printing system includes: an image forming apparatus including an engine for variable printing; a device communicatively connected to the image forming apparatus; a first control section included in one of the image forming apparatus and the device; and a second control section included in one of the image forming apparatus and the device. The first control section acquires setting information of the engine corresponding to a job instructing variable printing, and performs one of adding the setting information into the job, and storing the setting information in a form of a database. The second control section analyses an output result of a job which has been executed and setting information of the engine corresponding to the job, and instructs the engine, based on a result of the analysis, to change a setting of the engine corresponding to a job to be executed or being executed.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a variable printing system, an image forming device and a variable printing control method. Background technique [0002] Recently, the paperless trend in the world has continued to develop, and the print volume has been declining. The only printing volume on the increase is variable printing. Specific examples of variable printing include direct mail advertisements, and product catalogs customized for each customer. In this variable printing, the repeatedly used parts are rasterized and cached in the internal storage area. After the parts that are not used repeatedly are rasterized, they are combined with the cached parts to create a page image. The rasterization processing of the components and the transmission of the same data are suppressed to improve processing efficiency. [0003] This variable printing task was previously described using PPML (Personalized Print Markup Language). In the image forming device, the varia...
