PRINTER, ITS CONTROLLING METHOD, AND MEDIUM RECORDING PROCESSING THEREOF

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the print speed of first copy from lowering at the time of collate printing. SOLUTION: At the time of collate printing, a print request managing task 61 generates print data PDAT based on a print request PREQ of first copy and registers it in a print queue. When memory over occurs after the print data PDAT is registers in the print queue or when print of first copy is ended, the print request managing task 61 generates storage data SDAT concerning to the print data PDAT and stores it in a hard disc 39. Printing of second and subsequent copies is executed by reading out the storage data SDAT from the hard disc 39.
