Title:
印刷システム、印刷制御方法及び印刷制御プログラム
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6740821
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To restrain reduction in printing performance by effectively preventing cycling down.SOLUTION: A printing system includes a controller and a printer. The controller calculates prediction times of RIP processing for respective pages of printing data, and acquires and transmits printing conditions for the respective pages to the printer. The printer acquires capacity information and environmental information for a printing processing unit, and calculates printing processing information including predicted times of printing processing for the respective pages and a predicted time of cycling down occurrence in an environment at the time of printing the respective pages based on the printing conditions, the capacity information, and the environmental information, and transmits them to the controller. The controller determines transmission timings of image data for n+1 and subsequent pages based on a result of comparison between a time from a completion time of printing processing for the n page to a completion time of RIP processing for the n+1 page and the predicted time of cycling down occurrence for an n page by using the printing processing information and the RIP processing prediction time, and transmits the timing to the printer.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 11
