Abstract
Provided are an image processing apparatus, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing an imposition control program, and an imposition control method. The hardware processor of the image processing apparatus is configured to impose plural print jobs. When imposing plural print jobs, the hardware processor extracts plural job-imposition layouts suitable for imposing the print jobs from a table stored in a storage unit. The hardware processor calculates the number of blank pages to be given after laying out pages of the print jobs with each of the job-imposition layouts extracted, and determines specific job-imposition layouts with which a smaller number of blank pages are given among the job-imposition layouts extracted. The hardware processor uses a display unit to display the specific job-imposition layouts so as to allow a user to choose a job-imposition layout to be used for imposing the print jobs.
