Abstract
A printer includes a first feeder that feeds a first sheet, a second feeder that feeds a second sheet, a feed position on the second feeder being set so that the second sheet overlaps the first sheet when the second sheet is ejected, a stacker that collects the first sheet and the second sheet on which printing has been carried out so that the first sheet and the second sheet overlap, and a processor that determines whether a sectioning command is included in a print request, and when a sectioning command is included, switches over between the first feeder and the second feeder for each print job.
Claims10
A printer comprising:
- a first feeder that feeds a first sheet;
- a second feeder that feeds a second sheet, a feed position on the second feeder being set so that the second sheet overlaps the first sheet when the second sheet is ejected;
- a stacker that collects the first sheet and the second sheet on which printing has been carried out so that the first sheet and the second sheet overlap;
- and
- a processor that determines whether a sectioning command is included in a print request, and when a sectioning command is included, switches over between the first feeder and the second feeder for each print job;
- and
- a printing unit that selects a first scanning direction during according to feed directions of the first feeder and the second feeder, wherein the processor rotates an orientation of print data according to the feed directions and causes the printing unit to print the print data.
A printing control method comprising:
- determining whether a sectioning command is included in a print request;
- switching over between a first feeder and a second feeder, on which feed positions have been set so that sheets that have been ejected are overlap, for each print job according to a result obtained by the determination of whether a sectioning is included in the print request;
- changing a scanning direction in printing according to a direction of sheet feed from the first feeder or the second feeder;
- and
- rotating an orientation of print data according to the direction of sheet feed.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program for causing a computer to execute a digital signal process, wherein the digital signal process comprising:
- determining whether a sectioning command is included in a print request;
- switching over between a first feeder and a second feeder, on which feed positions have been set so that sheets that have been ejected overlap, for each print job according to a result obtained by the determining;
- changing a scanning direction in printing according to a direction of a sheet feed from the first feeder or the second feeder;
- and
- rotating an orientation of print data according to the direction of sheet feed.
