    Abstract: A printing system includes a print manager that creates a job list and a printer that preforms printing on a target printing material, based on the job list. The print manager includes a continuous printing information provider that gives continuous printing information to each of print jobs. The printer includes a continuous printing determiner to continuously start, if specified by the continuous print information of the print job to perform continuous printing, printing of a next one of the print jobs, and, not to start, if specified by the continuous print information of the print job not to perform continuous printing, printing of the next one of the print jobs.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10000072
    Abstract: A printer includes a table, a print head, a detector, and a controller. The controller includes a storage to store initial print data including information of reference position marks, a reader to acquire, using the detector, positional information of position detection marks, a print data generator to modify the initial print data such that the reference position marks each coincide with an associated one of the position detection marks acquired by the reader, thus generating actual print data; and a printing controller to perform printing in accordance with the actual print data.
