When a current time becomes the earliest print designation time of print designation times of a plurality of print jobs accumulated in the hard disk 15, the print job is set to a print job to be executed, and other print jobs in which the print designation time is present within a range of a predetermined print time interval from the print designation time for the print job are set to print jobs to be executed. The print jobs to be executed are executed by a printer engine 3 sequentially and continuously. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
