Abstract
A print system includes: a first printer that performs printing on continuous-form paper; a second printer that performs printing on the continuous-form paper printed by the first printer; a measuring unit that measures a paper length between the first printer and the second printer; a calculator that calculates a post-conveyance amount as a distance to convey the continuous-form paper after the printing, for the first printer or the second printer, based on the paper length measured by the measuring unit; and a conveyance operation controller that controls post-conveyance operations in the first printer and the second printer based on the post-conveyance amount calculated by the calculator.
Claims6
A print system comprising:
- a first printer that performs printing on continuous-form paper;
- a second printer that performs printing on the continuous-form paper printed by the first printer;
- a measuring unit that measures a paper length between the first printer and the second printer;
- a calculator that calculates a post-conveyance amount as a distance to convey the continuous-form paper after the printing, for the first printer or the second printer, based on the paper length measured by the measuring unit;
- and
- a conveyance operation controller that controls post-conveyance operations in the first printer and the second printer based on the post-conveyance amount calculated by the calculator.
A print system comprising:
- a first printer that performs printing on continuous-form paper;
- a second printer that performs printing on the continuous-form paper printed by the first printer;
- a calculator that calculates a post-conveyance amount as a length to convey the continuous-form paper after the printing, for the first printer or the second printer;
- and
- a conveyance operation controller that controls post-conveyance operations in the first printer and the second printer based on the post-conveyance amount calculated by the calculator,
- the calculator obtaining a sum of a first set value previously-set as a paper length between the first printer and the second printer and a second set value previously-set as a paper length between the second printer and a post processor, as the post-conveyance amount for the first printer, and
- setting the second set value as the post-conveyance amount for the second printer.
A print control apparatus comprising:
- a measuring unit that measures a paper length between a first printer to perform printing on continuous-form paper and a second printer to perform printing on the continuous-form paper printed by the first printer;
- a calculator that calculates a post-conveyance amount as a distance to convey the continuous-form paper after the printing, for the first printer or the second printer, based on the paper length measured by the measuring unit;
- and
- a conveyance operation controller that controls post-conveyance operations in the first printer and the second printer based on the post-conveyance amount calculated by the calculator.
A computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for print control, the process comprising:
- measuring a paper length between a first printer to perform printing on continuous-form paper and a second printer to perform printing on the continuous-form paper printed by the first printer;
- calculating a post-conveyance amount as a distance to convey the continuous-form paper after the printing, for the first printer or the second printer, based on the measured paper length;
- and
- controlling post-conveyance operations in the first printer and the second printer based on the calculated post-conveyance amount.
