A print control device (10) includes multiple drawing processing units (531Y-533Y), a sending unit (43), and a delivery unit (42). The multiple drawing processing units (531Y-533Y) perform a drawing process on a print instruction written in a page description language. The sending unit (43) sends the entirety of a print instruction constituted by multiple pages, to the multiple drawing processing units (531Y-533Y). The delivery unit (42) sequentially delivers processing requests to the multiple drawing processing units (531Y-533Y), the processing requests each specifying which page in the print instruction is to be subjected to a drawing process. Each of the multiple drawing processing units (531Y-533Y) performs a drawing process by converting the print instruction for a page specified by a processing request delivered by the delivery unit (42) into image data, and again performs, when processing requests are delivered in descending order of page such that a page specified by a current processing request is a page preceding a page specified by a last processing request, processing of the sent print instruction from the first page. The delivery unit (42) delivers a processing request to a drawing processing unit to which processing requests are deliverable in ascending order of page such that a page specified by the processing request that is to be delivered next time is a page following a page specified by a processing request that was delivered last time. * 3 L u~~~Lj___ |
