Bookbinding control device, non-transitory computer readable medium, bookbinding system, and method of controlling bookbinding

1. A bookbinding control device comprising: an acquisition unit that acquires print data including post-processing-not-required pages requiring no post-processing after printing and before bookbinding and post-processing-required pages requiring post-processing; a first accumulation controller that performs control so as to accumulate sheets with the printed post-processing-not-requires pages based on print data in a first accumulation unit; an insertion unit that inserts alternative sheets representing the positions of sheets, on which post-processing-required pages are to be disposed on the basis of print data, between the sheets with the printed post-processing-not-required pages on the basis of print data in the first accumulation unit; and wherein the post-processing required pages subjected to the post-processing are accumulated in a second accumulation unit different from the first accumulation unit, the post-processing-required pages being ordered to replace the alternative sheets in the first accumulation unit; and a bookbinding controller that performs control so as to perform bookbinding after the sheets with the printed post-processing-not-required pages in the first accumulation unit and the post-processing-required pages subjected to the post-processing based on the print data in the second accumulation unit are combined in an accumulation tray and after the controller displays a screen inquiring whether or not bookbinding is to be performed in a prescribed order.

2. The bookbinding control device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an insertion unit that inserts alternative sheets representing the positions of sheets, on which post-processing-required pages are to be disposed on the basis of print data, between the sheets with the printed post-processing-not-required pages on the basis of print data in the first accumulation unit.

3. The bookbinding control device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a printing controller that performs control so as to pause printing when the post-processing-required pages are printed on the basis of print data and restarts printing after the sheets with the printed post-processing-required pages are accumulated in the first accumulation unit.

4. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a processor to function as:

an acquisition unit that acquires print data including post-processing-not-requires pages requiring no post-processing after printing and before bookbinding and post-processing-requires pages requiring post-processing;

a first accumulation controller that performs control so as to accumulate sheets with the printed post-processing-not-required pages based on print data in a first accumulation unit;

an insertion unit that inserts alternative sheets representing the positions of sheets, on which post-processing-required pages are to be disposed on the basis of print data, between the sheets with the printed post-processing-not-required pages on the basis of print data in the first accumulation unit; and

wherein the post-processing required pages subjected to the post-processing are accumulated in a second accumulation unit different from the first accumulation unit, the post-processing-required pages being ordered to replace the alternative sheets in the first accumulation unit; and

a bookbinding controller that performs control so as to perform bookbinding after the sheets with the printed post-processing-not-required pages in the first accumulation unit and the post-processing-required pages subject to the post-processing based on the print data in the second accumulation unit are combined in an accumulation tray and after the controller displays a screen inquiring whether or not bookbinding is to be performed in a prescribed order.

5. A bookbinding system comprising:

a printer;

a bookbinding device; and

a post-processing device, wherein the printer includes

a printing unit that acquires and prints print data including post-processing-not-required pages requiring no post-processing after printing and before bookbinding and post-processing-required pages requiring post-processing, the bookbinding device includes a first accumulation unit that accumulates the sheet with the printed post-processing-not-required page based on print data, and

an insertion unit that inserts alternative sheets representing the positions of sheets, on which post-processing-required-pages are to be disposed on the basis of print data, between the sheets with the printed post-processing-not-required pages on the basis of print data in the first accumulation unit,

wherein the post-processing-required pages subjected to the post-processing are accumulated in a second accumulation unit different from the first accumulation unit, the post-processing-required pages being ordered to replace the alternative sheets in the first accumulation unit; and

the post-processing device includes

a post-processing unit that performs the post-processing on the sheet with the printed post-processing-required page based on print data, and the bookbinding device further includes

a bookbinding unit that performs bookbinding after the sheets with the printed post-processing-not-required pages in the first accumulation unit and the post-processing-required pages subject to the post-processing based on the print data in the second accumulation unit are combined in an accumulation tray and after the controller displays a screen inquiring whether or not bookbinding is to be performed in a prescribed order.

6. A method of controlling bookbinding, the method comprising:

acquiring print data including post-processing-not-required pages requiring no post-processing after printing and before bookbinding and post-processing-required pages requiring post-processing;

performing control so as to accumulate sheets with the printed post-processing-not-required pages based on print data in a first accumulation unit;

performing control so as to insert alternative sheets representing the positions of sheets, on which post-processing-required pages are to be disposed on the basis of print data, between the sheets with the printed post-processing-not-required pages on the basis of print data in the first accumulation unit; and

wherein the post-processing required pages subjected to the post-processing are accumulated in a second accumulation unit different from the first accumulation unit, the post-processing-required pages being ordered to replace the alternative sheets in the first accumulation unit; and

performing control so as to perform bookbinding after the sheets with the printed post-processing-not-required pages in the first accumulation unit and the post-processing-required pages subject to the post-processing based on the print data in the second accumulation unit are combined in an accumulation tray and after the controller displays a screen inquiring whether or not bookbinding is to be performed in a prescribed order.
