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.
