PRINTING SYSTEM, PRINTING DEVICE, CONTROL DEVICE AND PRINTING PROGRAM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printing system which can link the printing operation of a printing device using a printing plate with the printing operation of a printer device, and a printing device, a control device and a printing program. SOLUTION: The printer control part 76 reads an identification code M in job data (step 108) and instructs the offset control part 86 so as to display the identification code M (step 110), when the job data is entered (acknowledge by step 100). Further, the printer control part 76 acquires the identification code N of a printing plate 26 which is currently set at an offset rotary press 20 (step 112), and outputs information on printing start request is outputted (step 120) when the identification code M coincides with the identification code N (acknowledge by step 114). On the other hand, the error processing such as "no information on printing start request is outputted" (step 116) is performed, when the identification code M does not coincide with the identification code N (no in step 114).
