Generating means for generating a print job and grouping the deliverables by print job into groups for each delivery destination;
Transmission control means for transmitting the print job to the image forming apparatus for each group;
Determining means for determining completion of the print job for each group;
The information processing apparatus, wherein the transmission control unit transmits the print job of the next group to the image forming apparatus when the determination unit determines that the print job for each group is completed.   The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the determination unit determines that the print job for each group is completed when it is input that the print job for each group is completed. .   The generation unit generates the print job by laying out a plurality of image data corresponding to a plurality of deliverables having the same delivery destination on one sheet, and the plurality of image data does not fit on one sheet The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of image data is divided into a plurality of sheets and laid out. It further has order receiving means,
4. The order receiving unit receives a delivery destination, a quantity, and image data of the deliverable, and the generation unit lays out the image data according to the delivery destination of the deliverable. The information processing apparatus described in 1. User interface means for displaying identification information of the deliverables by the print job transmitted by the transmission control means and inputting that the shipment is completed for each deliverable in association with the identification information. ,
The determination unit determines that the print job of the group is completed when it is input from the user interface unit that shipping has been completed for all the deliverables included in one group. The information processing apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 4. The user interface means further accepts an instruction to reprint the selected product on the image forming apparatus;
The information processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the transmission control unit transmits a print job including the selected product to the image forming apparatus when receiving the reprint instruction.   When the transmission control unit receives the instruction to reprint, the selected product is printed, and corresponds to the selected product from image data printed on at least a sheet discharged on the top. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the image data excluding the image data is masked with other image data.   When there are a plurality of image forming apparatuses capable of transmitting a print job by the transmission control means, the transmission control unit determines whether an operator is attached to each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses based on predetermined information. 2. When it is determined that an operator is attached to each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses, all the print jobs included in one group are transmitted to one image forming apparatus. The information processing apparatus according to any one of claims 7 to 9.   9. The transmission control unit, when determining that an operator is not attached to each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses, transmits the plurality of print jobs to each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses. The information processing apparatus described in 1.   When the transmission control unit transmits a print job to be held by the image forming apparatus to the image forming apparatus having a hold function, the print jobs belonging to one group can be combined into one job. If the print jobs belonging to the group cannot be combined into one job and the print jobs belonging to the group cannot be combined into one job, the print job belonging to the group is assigned the name of the print job belonging to the group. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a common prefix is added to the information processing apparatus.   The generating unit generates a print job having print data in which image data for each deliverable is arranged on a sheet, and further displays identification information of a group to which the deliverable belongs on the sheet. The information processing apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 10. The generating unit further generates a post-processing job corresponding to the print job for a post-processing apparatus that performs post-processing of a sheet printed by the image forming apparatus;
The determination unit determines that the print job of the group is completed when all notifications indicating completion of the post-process job corresponding to the print job included in the group are received from the post-processing device. The information processing apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 11. An information processing apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 12,
An image forming apparatus;
A printing system comprising: a post-processing device.   The program for functioning a computer as an information processing apparatus as described in any one of Claims 1 thru | or 12. A generation process for generating a print job and grouping the deliverables by the print job into groups,
A transmission control step of transmitting the print job to the image forming apparatus for each group;
A determination step of determining completion of the print job for each group,
