Printing control method, printing system and information processing apparatus

Abstract

When multiple print jobs that include banner printing are combined and prescribed manipulation settings are specified, data for banner printing is processed separately of the multiple items of print data and the multiple items of print data are combined into a single item of print data, and newly created data for banner printing and the print data that has been combined is output. As a result, it is possible to avoid problems that arise from the combining of jobs for which banner printing settings and settings for finishing processing or layout processing have been made concurrently, and a user can be provided with the optimum printout by adapting processing in accordance with circumstances.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a printing control method of a printing system composed of an information processing device such as a personal computer and a printing device such as a printer, the printing system and the information processing device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is a method called header printing ( banner printing) function. On the other hand, it also has the ability to temporarily save the print data after converting it into an intermediate code, and to combine multiple stored intermediate data with one intermediate code, which can perform batch typesetting or post-processing for printing from multiple applications. The function of processing and the like is called job combining. [0003] However, when multiple jobs with title printing settings are combined and post-processing or layout processing is specified, or when the setting of title printing is combined with post-processing or layout processing, etc. ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, when multiple jobs with title printing settings are combined and post-processing or layout processing is specified, or when the setting of title printing is combined with post-processing or layout processing, etc. In the case of jobs, if the print output is performed according to the setting of specifying the combination of one job, as shown in Figure 9, in the case of combining multiple jobs for which header printing has been set, or outputting in 2 pages / sheet In some cases, there may be printing results that are not expected by the user, such as when a header is printed on the way out of the stapled output, or when the header is printed and the print data is laid out on one page.
