Abstract
In accordance with one embodiment, a printing system comprises a memory, a processor and an interface. The processor rewrites the first information contained in the print data stored in the memory and designating a sheet stacking section at an end of a conveyance path of an image forming apparatus. The interface sends the rewritten print data to the image forming apparatus.
Claims10
A printing system, comprising:
- an image forming apparatus configured to comprise a sheet feed source and a first discharging section which stacks image formed sheets;
- a finisher configured to be provided away from the first discharging section to the sheet feed source and connect to the image forming apparatus and comprise a second discharging section which stacks image formed sheets;
- and
- a computer comprising:
- a memory;
- a reception interface configured to receive a print data which comprises a first information designating the first discharging section or the second discharging section as a sheet discharging destination and a second information designating a post processing;
- a processor configured to extract the second information from the print data,
- store the print data in the memory if the post processing is designated in the second information, and
- rewrite the first information of the print data so that the first discharging section is designated and store the rewritten print data in the memory if none of the post processing is designated in the second information;
- and
- a transmission interface configured to transmit the print data stored in the memory to the image forming apparatus.
