  • Patent number: 10766286
    Abstract: Provided is technology enabling efficient printing based on the type of printing device. A print control device that communicates with a management device, which manages a printing device, includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire from the management device printing device information indicating whether a printing device the management device manages is a first printing device, which processes first band data of bands that are long in a first direction of a print object, or a second printing device, which processes second band data of bands that are long in a second direction intersecting the first direction of the print object; a band data generator configured to determine the length direction of band data based on the acquired printing device information, and generate band data in the determined length direction from the print object; and a transmitter configured to send the band data to the management device.
