Abstract

A printing/processing system includes a printing mechanism performing a printing operation on a processing sheet; a processing mechanism performing a processing operation on the printed processing sheet; and a memory device into which the printing mechanism writes information and from which the processing mechanism reads information. The printing mechanism includes an input unit for inputting printing information for performing the printing operation and processing information for allowing the processing mechanism to execute the processing operation; an information-writing unit that writes process data into the memory device in correspondence with process-specifying data provided for specifying the process data, the process data being a control program and/or control data based on the input processing information; and a printing unit that prints print data and the process-specifying data on the processing sheet, the print data corresponding to the input printing information. The processing mechanism includes a reading unit that reads the process-specifying data printed on the processing sheet; an information-readout unit that refers to the memory device and reads out the process data corresponding to the read process-specifying data from the memory device; and a processing unit that performs the processing operation based on the read process data.
