Printing system, information processing device, and printing machine

Abstract

In a printing system, a print job data generating unit of an information processing device generates print job data that includes job settings data which includes at least one of mechanical initialization information and job registration information to be used in a printing machine and which is described in a format that can be parsed without performing RIP processing, and printing data in PDL format. An RIP preprocessing unit of the printing machine parses the job settings data included in the print job data to obtain at least one of the mechanical initialization information and the job registration information, and performs at least one of mechanical initialization requesting based on the mechanical initialization information and job registration based on the job registration information before an RIP processing unit performs the RIP processing.
