Printing process control apparatus, program, recording medium and printing process control method for controlling process of printing process control apparatus

A printing process control method in a printing process control apparatus for controlling a schedule of a printing process by a printer and a schedule of a post-processing process by a post-processing apparatus, comprising;

• a job division step of analyzing order data for designating the number of prints of an original to be printed by the printer and a post-processing condition and dividing the order data into a plurality of processing process jobs;
• and
• a schedule decision step of assigning the plurality of processing process jobs divided it the job division step as the printing by the printer and the post-processing by the post-processing apparatus and deciding a schedule,
• wherein the schedule decision step decides the schedule so that a combination of the printing by the printer and the post-processing by the post-processing apparatus is repeatedly performed.

A storage medium storing a printing process control program to be executed by a printing process control apparatus for controlling a schedule of a printing process by a printer and a schedule of a post-processing process by a post-processing apparatus, the printing process control program comprising:

• a job division step of analyzing order data for designating the number of prints of an original to be printed by the printer and a post-processing condition and dividing the order data into a plurality of processing process jobs;
• and
• a schedule decision step of assigning the plurality of processing process jobs divided in the job division step as the printing by the printer and the post-processing by the post-processing apparatus and deciding a schedule,
• wherein the schedule decision step decides a schedule so that a combination of the printing by the printer and the post-processing by the post-processing apparatus is repeatedly performed.
