Printing device, printing method, and computer-readable storage medium for printing using multiple printers

A printing method that continuously prints printing data onto a printing medium, comprising the steps of:

• previously holding information on a relationship between a size of the printing medium and a position of the mark;
• movably setting the position of the mark based on the previously-held information in accordance with the size of the printing medium;
• forming the set mark upon printing the printing data onto a printing surface of the printing medium to be printed first;
• reading the mark by a reading sensor and matching printing surfaces of the printing medium to be printed first and second;
• and
• printing the printing data onto the printing surface of the printing medium to be printed second when it is determined that the printing data onto the printing surface of the printing medium to be printed first matches the printing data onto the printing surface of the printing medium to be printed second.

A printing method that continuously prints plural pieces of printing data, comprising the steps of:

• previously holding information on a relationship between the sizes of the plural pieces of printing data and a position of a mark indicating the plural pieces of printing data;
• movably setting the mark position based on the previously-held information in accordance with the sizes of the plural pieces of printing data;
• forming the set mark upon printing the plural pieces of printing data onto a printing surface of the printing medium to be printed first;
• reading the mark by a reading sensor and matching printing surfaces of the printing medium to be printed first and second;
• and
• printing the plural pieces of printing data onto the printing surface of the printing medium to be printed second when it is determined that the plural pieces of printing data onto the printing surface of the printing medium to be printed first match the plural pieces of printing data onto the printing surface of the printing medium to be printed second.

A computer-readable storage medium that stores a program which continuously prints printing data onto a printing medium, wherein the program enables a computer to function as:

• means for previously holding information on a relationship between a size of the printing medium and a position of a mark indicating a page of the printing medium;
• means for movably setting the mark position based on the previously-held information in accordance with the size of the printing medium;
• means for forming the set mark upon printing the printing data onto a printing surface of the printing medium to be printed first;
• means for reading the mark by a reading sensor and matching printing surfaces of the printing medium to be printed first and second;
• and
• means for printing the printing data onto the printing surface of the printing medium to be printed second when it is determined that the printing data onto the printing surface of the printing medium to be printed first matches the printing data onto the printing surface of the printing medium to be printed second.

A computer-readable storage medium that stores a program which continuously prints plural pieces of printing data onto a printing medium, wherein the program enables a computer to function as:

• means for previously holding information on a relationship between sizes of the plural pieces of printing data and a position of a mark indicating each of the plural pieces of printing data;
• means for movably setting the mark position based on the previously-held information in accordance with the sizes of the plural pieces of printing data;
• means for forming the set mark upon printing the plural pieces of printing data onto a printing surface of the printing medium to be printed first;
• means for reading the mark by a reading sensor and matching printing surfaces of the printing medium to be printed first and second;
• and
• means for printing the plural pieces of printing data onto the printing surface of the printing medium to be printed second when it is determined that the printing data onto the printing surface of the printing medium to be printed first matches the printing data onto the printing surface of the printing medium to be printed second.
