Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A print control device includes a mark information memory, a first print controller, and a second print controller. The mark information memory stores mark information for each type of printer. Upon receiving a printing instruction that specifies a first printer, the first print controller assigns identification information to the print data, combines interpretation result data of the print data and an additional mark for the type of the first printer to create imposition data, supplies the imposition data to the first printer, and saves the interpretation result data in a storage device in association with the identification information. Upon receiving a printing instruction that specifies a second printer, the second print controller acquires the interpretation result data from the storage device, combines the interpretation result data and an additional mark for the type of the second printer to create imposition data, and supplies the imposition data to the second printer.
