<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the number of paper exchanging times, in the case of executing a printing process using a printing instruction (printing job) including output control information in which a paper type is designated by page. <P>SOLUTION: A priority order in paper exchange by paper type is set by a priority order setting part based on the extracted output control information (step S101). At the absence of the specified size paper in a tray, the presence or absence of the paper having the higher priority than that of the processing target page in the tray is determined (step S104). When the presence of the paper having the higher priority than that of the processing target page in the tray is determined at the step S104, a paper exchange instruction part gives a paper exchanging instruction to exchange the paper other than the paper having the higher priority with the specified size paper specified for the processing target page (step S105). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
