Embodiment approach 1

[0037] printing device

[0038] figure 1 It is a perspective view of the printer 100 as the printing device according to the first embodiment. figure 2 It is a conceptual diagram showing a conveyance path of a printing medium inside the printer 100 . The printer 100 is a large-sized inkjet printer capable of printing on a relatively large-sized printing medium such as so-called A0 format or B0 format according to JIS standards. The printing medium is supplied in a rolled state (hereinafter, the printing medium is referred to as roll paper 1 ).

[0039] The printer 100 is composed of a device main body 2 , a support stand 3 that supports the device main body 2 , and the like. The device main body 2 is composed of a printing unit 10, a roll paper return unit 20, a roll paper storage unit 30, a storage unit 40, a control unit 50, an operation panel 60, an input / output interface (not shown) with external equipment, and the like. The lower end of the support table 3 is provide...

Embodiment approach 2

[0099] Next, a print control device according to Embodiment 2 will be described. In addition, in description, the same code|symbol is used for the same component as the above-mentioned embodiment, and repeated description is abbreviate|omitted.

[0100] Image 6 It is a functional block diagram of the printer control device 200 as a printing control device. The printer control device 200 is a print control device configured without the print function of the printer 100 described in Embodiment 1, and can send a print job to a connected printer function (printer 101 ) via the network 5 .

[0101] The printer control device 200 includes an input unit 70 and a display unit 71 serving as a manual interface instead of the operation panel 60 included in the printer 100 . In addition, a print job sending and receiving unit 56 is provided instead of the print job receiving unit 51 included in the printer 100 . For example, the printer control device 200 can be constituted by a perso...

Abstract

The invention provides a printing apparatus and a printing control device. The printing apparatus enables time required by a change of a paper roll or waste generated due to cutting of the paper roll to be reduced under the condition that a plurality of print tasks are stored and continuous printing is carried out. A printer includes a storage unit that spools print jobs, a print job sorting unit that sorts the spooled print jobs into a processing order, and a printing unit that performs printing on a paper roll in response to the print jobs in the sorted processing order. The print job sorting unit sorts the print jobs into a processing order based on medium attributes of the paper roll supplied to the printing unit and medium attributes which are requested in the print job.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a printing device and a printing control device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is known a printing device that prints (records) on a printing medium (rolled paper) that is supplied in a curled state. Roll paper has the advantage that the length of one printed image (printing length) can be variably extended, and the length prepared by rolling into a curl is longer, so that continuous longer printing can be implemented. Advantages of printing. Therefore, in order to effectively utilize this feature, a printing device capable of performing printing more stably (further reducing manpower involved) or more efficiently (further reducing the length of unnecessary waste) is required. [0003] The device described in Patent Document 1 is a printing device capable of performing continuous printing on roll paper stored in upper and lower roll holders, and when printing on one roll paper, it can print on the other ...
