Abstract
A print control device, comprises: a receiving part for receiving an email; an address extracting part for extracting an address designated as a recipient of the email received by the receiving part; and an output controlling part for controlling production of a printed output based on the email when the receiving part receives the email. The output controlling part does not produce the printed output based on the email received by the receiving part if the multiple addresses are extracted by the address extracting part.
Claims21
A print control device, comprising a processor configured to:
- receive an email;
- extract each address designated as a recipient of the email;
- control production of a printed output based on the email;
- and
- obtain a number of addresses extracted, wherein the processor does not produce the printed output based on the email received when the number of addresses extracted is greater than a predetermined address limit pertaining to a limit for the number of addresses.
A print controlling method for controlling production of a printed output based on an email in response to receiving the email, comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving the email;
- (b) extracting an address designated as a recipient of the email received in said step (a);
- (c) obtaining a number of addresses extracted;
- and
- (d) controlling not to produce the printed output based on the email received in said step (a) when the number of addresses extracted is greater than a predetermined address limit pertaining to a limit for the number of addresses.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium on which a program is recorded, said program executable on a print control device capable of controlling production of a printed output based on an email in response to receiving the email, said program causing said print control device to execute the steps of:
- (a) receiving the email;
- (b) extracting an address designated as a recipient of the email received in step (a);
- (c) obtaining a number of addresses extracted;
- and
- (d) controlling not to produce the printed output based on the email received in step (a) when the number of addresses extracted is greater than a predetermined address limit pertaining to a limit for the number of addresses.
