PURPOSE: To shorten the turn around time by reducing sorting transactions by adding a driven-system form receiving table to a print output device with a form cutting mechanism and then by rotating or moving it in parallel between jobs.
CONSTITUTION: Through output program 3, execution result 120 of job A is read out of auxiliary memory unit 2 and outputted to print output device 4 and after the output operation of job A ends, form cutting request command 160 is sent to output control part 5 as well as receiving table drive indication command 180. On receiving form cutting command 160, cutting control part 9 feeds an adequate number of lines and then sends form cutting indication signal 170 to cutting mechanism 11. Under receiving table drive indication command 180, receiving table drive control part 12 waits for cutting end signal 190 to return from cutting control part 11 as a result of form cutting indication signal 170 and then sends receiving table drive indication signal 200. When the drive part of the rotary receiving table receives indication signal 200, the receiving table rotates by 90° with the result of job A mounted and then performs the next job B.
