US Patent 6869238 Printing control program, printing control system, and printing control method

Based on both logical information and layout information capable of discriminating a fixed portion of print data from a variable portion of the print data in a process operation of a first page of a printing matter, a printing control system separates the variable portion of the print data from the fixed portion of the print data, and preliminarily registers the print data of the fixed portion into a storage apparatus provided on a printing apparatus. While a process operation for a second page of the printing matter and a process operation for a fixed portion having the same format, to which a printing process operation has been once carried out, are not repeatedly carried out, since only the variable portion of the print data is transmitted to the printing apparatus, both data transfer time for the printing apparatus and printing process time can be shortened.
