Abstract:
1. A printer controlling device basis, comprising: a processor; memory having instructions stored therein that, when executed by the processor, cause the printer controlling device to operate as: a receiving unit configured to receive print settings including a copy number setting indicating a desired number of copies of a document; a transmitting unit configured to transmit print data representing one printing sheet of the document to be printed and a first copy command representing that only one copy of the one printing sheet of the document is to be made regardless of the received copy number setting; a first judging unit configured to judge whether one copy of the entire document has been transmitted to be printed; and a second judging unit configured to judge whether a number of printing sheets necessary for printing one copy of the entire document is one or more than one after the first judging unit determines that one copy of the entire document has been transmitted to be printed, wherein the transmitting unit subsequently transmits print data representing the entire document and a second copy command, and wherein the second copy command indicates different numbers of copies to be made depending on whether the second judging unit judges that the number of printing sheets necessary for printing one copy of the document is one or more than one.
