The present invention includes an offset processing section that performs
offset processing for shifting a sheet to be outputted in a sheet width
direction, a banner output section that prints a job attribute of a print
job on a sheet, a job attribute determination section that determines the
job attribute of the print job, and a control section that sets offset
processing or banner output in the unit of a job attribute or in the unit
of a job. When a job attribute of a preceding print job and a job
attribute of a subsequent print job are different, offset processing and
banner output are executed. When the job attribute of the preceding print
job and the job attribute of the subsequent print job are the same, any
one of offset processing and banner output is executed. Thereby, printed
sheets can be easily obtained in the unit of a job attribute such as in
the unit of a user.
