Problems solved by technology

In particular, there is no proposed system in which a finisher and a printing device are set up singly by an information processing device such as a computer for controlling a printing device
This places a burden on the operator to maintain a match between the settings of the printing device and the finisher, reduces the efficiency of the print process, and creates setting errors

Abstract

According to the present invention, an information processing apparatus comprises: a loading unit which loads function information representing a function of the post-printing processing device; an identification unit which identifies a printing function processible by the printing device and a post-processing function processible after printing by the post-printing processing device; a display control unit which displays a setting window for setting the printing function and post-processing function; a data generation unit which generates printing data to be printed by the printing device; and a setting information generation unit which generates post-processing setting information subjected to post-printing processing by the post-printing processing device, wherein the printing data is transmitted to the printing device, and the post-processing setting information is transmitted to the post-printing processing device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device that outputs printing information to a printing device in a printing system and outputs post-processing information to a post-processing device by connecting an image forming device (for example, a digital copier), a post-processing device ( For example, an in-line finisher, a near-line finisher, or an off-line finisher), and a client computer in which a printer driver for controlling an image forming device is connected to configure the printing system, the present invention also relates to A control method for the above-mentioned information processing device. Background technique [0002] Each term is explained below. "Finisher (finisher)" means post-print processing equipment, also called "post-print processing equipment" or simply "post-processing equipment". The finisher performs various processes such as stapling, cutting, stapling, punching, and page copying. Some finishers ha...
