Printing control program product, printing control apparatus, and printing system

摘要

A printing control program product is disclosed, which causes a computer to function as a printer control unit; a printing conditions control processing unit; and an overall control unit which, for a printing job with a determined result of not matching, when a size of a sheet onto which printing is to be made can be generated by cutting a mounted sheet, arranges picture drawing data of a printed output in a layout suitable for the size of the sheet onto which the printing is to be made by cutting the mounted sheet, along the layout after the printing, and generating the printed output.

主权项

1. A non-transitory printing control program product which causes a computer to function as:
a printer control unit configured to obtain a size of a sheet mounted in a printer apparatus or a device apparatus; a printing conditions control processing unit configured to determine whether the size of the sheet mounted in the printer apparatus or the device apparatus matches a size of a sheet onto which printing is to be made, which printing is included in printing conditions designated by an operator to generate a printed output; and a control unit configured to arrange picture drawing data of the printed output in a layout suitable for the size of the sheet onto which the printing is to be made by cutting the mounted sheet, along the layout after the printing, and generating the printed output, if a printing job is determined not to match and the size of the sheet onto which the printing is to be made can be generated by cutting the mounted sheet, a sheet replacement lob control unit configured to generate a sheet replacement job which prompts the operator to perform a sheet replacement operation; and a queue control processing unit configured to queue the sheet replacement job, wherein,
if the printing job is determined not to match, and the size of the sheet onto which the printing is to be made cannot be generated by cutting the mounted sheet andif the size of the sheet onto which the printing is to be made can be generated by changing the size of the sheet mounted in the printer apparatus or the device apparatus,the control unit is configured to instruct the sheet replacement job control unit to generate the sheet replacement job and queue the printing jobs of the printed output before and after the sheet replacement job such that the size of the sheet onto which the printing is to be made and information on a size of a sheet before and after the sheet replacement that is held by the sheet replacement job match.
