<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To print documents in each printer so as not to disorder the order of pages by transferring the print data to the plural printers so that the order of pages is not disordered when the documents are printed by plural printers. SOLUTION: There are three available printers to print the print data of 100 pages in all. In such cases, the total print data are once stored in a 1st spooler 60 and thereafter the total page number is equally divided to three available printers starting from the first page. Then, a block starting from the first page is sent to the printer that is connected to a port having the smallest port number. The next block is sent to a printer that is connected to a port having the next smallest port number. Thereafter, the similar processing is repeated in times equal to the set number of available printers. As a result, the documents can be printed in plural printers so as not to disorder the order of the pages.</p> |
