发明名称 Server controlling job management by a plurality of image forming devices
摘要 An object is to perform processing on an expedited basis by a plurality of printers while maintaining the total power consumption of the plurality of printers at a low level. A server for managing a plurality of jobs to be performed by a plurality of image forming devices having a print engine, the server comprising: a job division instruction unit configured to instruct the image forming devices to which the jobs are input to divide each of the plurality of jobs into preprocessing that does not involve driving of the print engine and postprocessing that involves driving of the print engine; and a job management unit configured to control timing of starting the postprocessing to prevent the postprocessing from being performed simultaneously by the plurality of image forming devices.

主权项 1. A server for managing a plurality of jobs to be performed by a plurality of image forming devices having a print engine, the server comprising: a processor and a memory storing a program to be executed by the processor, wherein the processor executes the program to function as: a job division instruction unit configured to instruct the image forming devices to which the jobs are input to divide each of the plurality of jobs into preprocessing that does not involve driving of the print engine and postprocessing that involves driving of the print engine; and a job management unit configured to control timing of starting the postprocessing to prevent the postprocessing from being performed simultaneously by the plurality of image forming devices, wherein the preprocessing is a low power consumption mode and the postprocessing is a high power consumption mode.
