An image forming control method, applied to an image forming control apparatus, comprising: Step S110: acquiring job data and job parameters corresponding to the job data, wherein the job parameters include an image post-processing direction and a job data direction; Step S120: determining a sheet feed direction based on the image post-processing direction and the job data direction in conjunction with a pre-stored corresponding relationship for characterizing a preset image post-processing direction, a preset job data direction, and a preset sheet feed direction configured by a user; and Step 130: based on the sheet feed direction, the job data, the job data direction, and the image post-processing direction, controlling an image forming device to perform an image forming operation, and controlling an image post-processing device to perform an image post-processing operation; characterized in that: Step S120 includes: Step 122: acquiring the preset sheet feed direction; Step 123: deciding whether, the preset sheet feed direction, the job data direction, and the image post-processing direction are matched with each other in conjunction with the pre-stored corresponding relationship for characterizing the preset image post-processing direction, the preset job data direction, and the preset sheet feed direction; if the preset sheet feed direction, the job data direction, and the image post-processing direction are matched with each other, perform Step S124: determining the preset sheet feed direction to be the sheet feed direction; and if the preset sheet feed direction, the job data direction, and the image post-processing direction are not matched with each other, determine the sheet feed direction based on the image post-processing direction and the job data direction in conjunction with the pre-stored corresponding relationship for characterizing the preset image post-processing direction, the preset job data direction, and the preset sheet feed direction. Step S110: acquiring job data and job parameters corresponding to the job data, wherein the job parameters include an image post-processing direction and a job data direction; Step S120: determining a sheet feed direction based on the image post-processing direction and the job data direction in conjunction with a pre-stored corresponding relationship for characterizing a preset image post-processing direction, a preset job data direction, and a preset sheet feed direction configured by a user; and Step 130: based on the sheet feed direction, the job data, the job data direction, and the image post-processing direction, controlling an image forming device to perform an image forming operation, and controlling an image post-processing device to perform an image post-processing operation; characterized in that: Step S120 includes: Step 122: acquiring the preset sheet feed direction; Step 123: deciding whether, the preset sheet feed direction, the job data direction, and the image post-processing direction are matched with each other in conjunction with the pre-stored corresponding relationship for characterizing the preset image post-processing direction, the preset job data direction, and the preset sheet feed direction; if the preset sheet feed direction, the job data direction, and the image post-processing direction are matched with each other, perform Step S124: determining the preset sheet feed direction to be the sheet feed direction; and if the preset sheet feed direction, the job data direction, and the image post-processing direction are not matched with each other, determine the sheet feed direction based on the image post-processing direction and the job data direction in conjunction with the pre-stored corresponding relationship for characterizing the preset image post-processing direction, the preset job data direction, and the preset sheet feed direction. Step 122: acquiring the preset sheet feed direction; Step 123: deciding whether, the preset sheet feed direction, the job data direction, and the image post-processing direction are matched with each other in conjunction with the pre-stored corresponding relationship for characterizing the preset image post-processing direction, the preset job data direction, and the preset sheet feed direction; if the preset sheet feed direction, the job data direction, and the image post-processing direction are matched with each other, perform Step S124: determining the preset sheet feed direction to be the sheet feed direction; and if the preset sheet feed direction, the job data direction, and the image post-processing direction are not matched with each other, determine the sheet feed direction based on the image post-processing direction and the job data direction in conjunction with the pre-stored corresponding relationship for characterizing the preset image post-processing direction, the preset job data direction, and the preset sheet feed direction.
