  • Patent number: 10185526
    Abstract: A print controller includes a plurality of processing units, a receiving unit, a generation unit, a first assignment unit, a second assignment unit, and a request unit. The generation unit generates print side job data for imposing multiple pages on a single print side. The first assignment unit assigns, to the print side job data, an image processing unit not assigned to other print side job data. The second assignment unit assigns at least one image processing unit not assigned to the other print side job data, to page job data of each of the pages. The request unit requests the at least one image processing unit to execute image processing on the page job data of each page, and requests the image processing unit to execute image processing on the print side job data when the image processing on the page job data of each page is completed.
