ABSTRACT:
In a print server device, print data reading and a printing process are performed in parallel so as to reduce the printing time and the printing order of print jobs is automatically or optionally changed.A print server device1stores print data of a print job3accepted thereby, reads out the print data in accordance with a print request command and has the read out print data analyzed and processed at a device control filter8for output to a printer2. A control unit9sequentially reads out the print data for supply to the device control filter as a part of the print data is started to be stored. In addition, the control unit9puts the print job in a print wait condition. The print jobs are selected in accordance with a priority following a specific condition so as to be released from the print wait condition, and the print data of the print files is read out for supply to the device control filter.
