<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such a problem in a conventional technique that if a sheet corresponding to a back cover 304 is a tabbed sheet or interleaf which affects the order of sheets, it is necessary to first print the tabbed sheet or interleaf, but the sheets cannot be printed in a proper order. <P>SOLUTION: A print job for ring binding is received and page information contained in the print job is obtained. Based on the page information, it is determined whether the sheet used as the back cover in the ring binding is a sequential insert sheet whose insertion order is determined in advance. When it is determined that the sheet is a sequential insert sheet, control is performed such that the insert sheet used as the back cover is printed by discharging the insert sheets up to the insert sheet just before the insert sheet used as the back cover out of a set of sequential insert sheets. Then, sheets used as inner sheets in the ring binding and a sheet used as a front cover in the ring binding are printed in order. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
