PRINT SERVER, PRINTING SYSTEM, PRINT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, AND PRINT MANAGEMENT METHOD

摘要

A print server connected to printers includes a job data receiving unit configured to receive job data subject to printing, a first conversion unit, an instruction receiving unit, a second conversion unit, and a transmission unit. The first conversion unit is configured to convert the job data into intermediate image data having a pixel count of a minimum pixel count or less among pixel counts of print data to be input to each of the printers. The instruction receiving unit is configured to, after the job data is received, receive an instruction specifying a printing execution printer. The second conversion unit is configured to generate the print data corresponding to the printing execution printer by converting the intermediate image data to data of the pixel count to be input to the printing execution printer. The transmission unit is configured to transmit the print data to the printing execution printer.

主权项

1. A print server connected to a plurality of printers, the print server comprising:
a job data receiving unit configured to receive job data subject to printing, a first conversion unit configured to convert the job data into intermediate image data having a pixel count of a minimum pixel count or less among pixel counts of print data to be input to each of the plurality of the printers, an instruction receiving unit configured to, after the job data is received, receive an execution instruction for which one or more of the plurality of the printers is specified as a printing execution printer configured to execute printing of the job data, a second conversion unit configured to generate the print data corresponding to the printing execution printer by converting the intermediate image data to data of the pixel count to be input to the printing execution printer, and a transmission unit configured to transmit the print data to the printing execution printer.
