COLLECTIVE PRINTING METHOD, METHOD FOR FORMING COLLECTIVE PRINT DATA THEREFOR, COLLECTIVE PRINTER, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform a desired collective printing without functionally extending a printer driver by designating the collecting number and the collecting order in collective printing by numerical values. SOLUTION: The form showing the collectable number N to be designated and collection information in an application is designated by num 1 to numM as follows. The num1 to numM are numerical values showing a position for arranging print data. The printing condition including the above numerical value and printing data are transmitted to the printer driver. The collectable number N and the collecting order (num1, etc.), are acquired in the printer driver (S3, S5), and sticking position information is formed by the numerical value showing the collecting number and the numerical value showing the collecting order (S6). The contracted printing data is stuck to page data according to the sticking position information (S11), and the resulting page data (collecting data) is transmitted to a printer or the like (S14).
