Recording device, method of controlling a recording device, and storage medium storing a program run by a control unit that controls a recording device

A method of controlling a recording device having plural devices, comprising steps of:

• creating an operating sequence of specific operations executed by the recording device;
• referencing previously stored control jobs based on the type of operating sequence created, creating a new control job when the control job used in the operating sequence has not been created, and deleting at least one control job when there is a control job that is not used in the operating sequence;
• and
• driving the device by executing the control job.

A computer-readable storage medium storing a program that can be executed by a control unit that controls the devices of a recording device having plural devices, the program causing the control unit to function as:

• a drive control unit that drives the device by executing a control job created for each device;
• an operating sequence control unit that creates an operating sequence of specific operations executed by the recording device;
• and
• a job control unit that stores the control jobs that are used based on the type of operating sequence created by the operating sequence control unit, and
• when the operating sequence control unit creates the operating sequence, references the stored control job corresponding to the type of operating sequence, creates a new control job when the control job used in the operating sequence has not been created, deletes at least one control job when there is a control job that is not used in the operating sequence, and stores the control jobs.
