Abstract
Job management information is analyzed to extract post printing process information on a post printing process from the job management information on the basis of the analysis result. A stylesheet corresponding to the extracted post printing process information is selected from a stylesheet storing unit which stores a stylesheet functioning as layout data for laying out and outputting post printing process information in accordance with the output form of an output destination. Work order form data of the corresponding post printing process is generated on the basis of the selected stylesheet and post printing process information.
Claims18
An information processing apparatus which generates, on the basis of job management information of a printing job for a printing system that implements various processes by a printing apparatus and a post processing apparatus, work order form data of a post printing process to be executed by the post processing apparatus, comprising:
- analysis means for analyzing the job management information;
- extraction means for extracting post printing process information on the post printing process from the job management information on the basis of an analysis result of said analysis means;
- stylesheet storing means for storing a stylesheet for reflecting the post printing process information in a predetermined format;
- and
- generation means for generating work order form data of the post printing process on the basis of the stylesheet stored in said stylesheet storing means and the post printing process information.
A method of controlling an information processing apparatus which generates, on the basis of job management information of a printing job for a printing system that implements various processes by a printing apparatus and a post processing apparatus, work order form data of a post printing process to be executed by the post processing apparatus, comprising:
- an analysis step of analyzing the job management information;
- an extraction step of extracting post printing process information on the post printing process from the job management information on the basis of an analysis result of the analysis step;
- and
- a generation step of generating work order form data of the post printing process on the basis of the post printing process information, and a stylesheet stored in a stylesheet storing unit which stores a stylesheet for reflecting the post printing process information in a predetermined format.
A program for implementing control of an information processing apparatus which generates, on the basis of job management information of a printing job for a printing system that implements various processes by a printing apparatus and a post processing apparatus, work order form data of a post printing process to be executed by the post processing apparatus, comprising:
- a program code for an analysis step of analyzing the job management information;
- a program code for an extraction step of extracting post printing process information on the post printing process from the job management information on the basis of an analysis result of the analysis step;
- and
- a program code for a generation step of generating work order form data of the post printing process on the basis of the post printing process information, and a stylesheet stored in a stylesheet storing unit which stores a stylesheet for reflecting the post printing process information in a predetermined format.
