PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique capable of improving processing efficiency of a print output device in color cluster printing.SOLUTION: A print control device controls color cluster printing by executing a color cluster print job divided in a first sub job JA according to color print output and a second sub job JB according to monochrome print output, by both a color MFP and a monochrome MFP. The print control device adjusts the execution order of the first sub job JA in the color MFP under a condition C1 so as to minimize the gap period TE generated before the execution of the second sub job JB. Here, the condition C1 is that the execution orders of a plurality of print jobs JC1 to JC4 in the color MFP and a plurality of print jobs JM1 to JM4 in the monochrome MFP remain in the initial registration states, and the second sub job JB is executed by the monochrome MFP just after the first sub job JA. |
