Abstract
The roll printing device includes a hardware processor configured to, on receiving a succeeding job during printing of a preceding job on a roll of print media, use a printing area for printing copies of an object of the preceding job and the width of the print media, to determine a blank area or areas to be created on the print media, and judge whether to print the succeeding job together with the preceding job with copies of the object of the succeeding job being arranged in the blank area or areas. The hardware processor is further configured to, according to the judgment result, define the layout of the copies of the object of the succeeding job in the blank area or areas, and change image data currently used for printing, at a certain time during the printing of the preceding job.
