Abstract: There is provided a printing control device. A setting unit sets a sorting priority mode that causes a printing device to perform printing using a recording sheet in which the difference from the recording sheet size designated by a current print job mounted on the printing device is within a predetermined range, in a case where a recording sheet with a same size as the recording sheet designated by the current print job is not mounted on the printing device, and a recording sheet which has a recording sheet size that is printable without reducing the printing range, and for which the difference from the size of the recording sheet designated by the current print job is within a predetermined range is mounted on the printing device in a sheet feed direction different from the sheet feed direction of the recording sheet of the previous print job.

Abstract: There is provided a print control program causing a computer to function as the following units. A setting unit performs a setting such that sorting is performed according to an output direction set for each print attribute when the sorting is performed according to a first method of sorting output materials according to the output direction among a plurality of types of sorting methods in a printing device. A generating unit generates content of a print instruction so that the output materials are output from the printing device according to the sorting method set by the setting unit.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium stores a print control program causing a computer to function as a designation information acquisition unit, a paper feed information acquisition unit, and a designation information changing unit. The designation information acquisition unit acquires designation information indicating a paper feed designation of recording paper and a paper designation from print data that is generated by a printer driver based on the paper feed designation and the paper designation. The paper feed information acquisition unit acquires paper feed information indicating paper information of the recording paper and paper feed configuration of the recording paper mounted on a printing device, from the printing device before the print data is transmitted to the printing device. The designation information changing unit compares the designation information and the paper feed information and changes the designation information when a certain condition is met.

Abstract: A print control method includes, when a sorting method for sorting printed matters in a printing device is set, displaying an image indicating an output aspect of the printed matters output from the printing device, based on the set sorting method and a previous output aspect of the printing device.

Abstract: A print instruction apparatus includes a group information acquisition unit that acquires information identifying a feeder unit included in a group including two or more feeder units, from among a plurality of feeder units mounted on a printer to feed paper sheets, where if one feeder unit in the group runs out of paper sheets during printing, another feeder unit in the same group is configured to feed paper sheets, and a display that acquires information related to a remaining amount of paper sheets each of the feeder units in the group, and displays information related to a total remaining amount of paper sheets in the group.

Abstract: A print instruction apparatus includes a group information acquisition unit that acquires information identifying a feeder unit included in a group that includes two or more feeder units, from among feeder units arranged in a printer to feed paper sheets, and that is configured in a manner such that if one of the feeder units in the group runs out of paper sheets in a printing of the printer, another feeder unit in the group starts to feed paper sheets, and a display that acquires information related to a remaining amount of paper sheets or information related to an out-of-paper state in each of the feeder units in the group that is configured to feed paper sheets in the printing operation, and that displays information related to a feeder unit in the group that is to be replenished with paper sheets.

Abstract: A print control apparatus includes a specifying-information acquisition unit, a first acquisition unit, an attribute recognition unit, a second acquisition unit, and a controller. The specifying-information acquisition unit acquires first specifying information specifying a certain supply section that is to supply a medium or second specifying information specifying that a printer determine a supply section that is to supply the medium on the basis of an attribute of the medium. The first acquisition unit acquires, when the first specifying information is acquired, first setting information associated with a certain process included in a printing process. The attribute recognition unit recognizes an attribute of the medium when the second specifying information is acquired. The second acquisition unit acquires second setting information set for the attribute. The controller performs control such that the printing process is performed by the printer on the basis of the first or second setting information.

Abstract: A control apparatus includes an output unit, a transmission unit, an output-history generating unit, a transmission-history generating unit, a checking unit, and a determination-information generating unit. The output unit acquires image formation information items, and performs output processes of outputting the information items to a storage unit. The transmission unit acquires the information items, and performs transmission processes of transmitting the information items to the image forming unit. The output-history generating unit generates output histories in which an order in which unit processes constituting the output processes have been performed is recorded. The transmission-history generating unit generates transmission histories in which an order in which unit processes constituting the transmission processes have been performed is recorded. The checking unit checks whether the orders match.
