Stencil printing machine and control method thereof

A stencil printing machine control method of controlling operation of a stencil printing machine having a plurality of printing drums, each printing drum capable of having a stencil sheet mounted thereon wherein the stencil sheet has been made based on printing data, the stencil printing machine for performing a stencil printing process by pressing a printing paper on each printing drum and for disposing of a used stencil sheet from each printing drum,

• the control method comprising:
• a step of controlling that a stencil disposal process and a stencil making process are not performed for the printing drum on which is mounted a stencil sheet for common printing data when there is designated the stencil printing process for plural printing data including said common printing data.

A stencil printing machine control method of controlling operation of a stencil printing machine having a plurality of printing drums, each printing drum having mounted thereon a stencil sheet made based on data to be printed, and a mode designation section adapted to selectively designate each of the plurality of printing drums and which selectively designates one of the plurality of printing drums to which a stencil disposal process and a stencil making process are not performed, and performing a stencil printing process by pressing a printing paper on each printing drum and disposing a used stencil sheet from other than the designated printing drum,

• the stencil printing control method comprising:
• designating one of the plurality of printing drums that perform the stencil printing process to which both a stencil disposal process and a stencil making process are not performed,
• wherein the operation of the stencil printing machine is so controlled that both the stencil disposal process and the stencil making process are not performed for the printing drum designated by the above printing drum designation step.
