CONTROL DEVICE, EXECUTION PROGRAM, AND PRINTER

To shorten time until a user acquires printed matter.SOLUTION: A control device comprises a processor. The processor starts printing before a user arrives at a printer when printing time for printing executed by a printer in response to a printing instruction received from a user terminal is equal to or longer than predetermined reference time, executes first control, for the printer, for discharging printed matter to a discharge unit with a key necessary for taking out the printed matter, starts printing at the printer without operation of a printing instruction by the user after arrival of the user at the printer when the printing time is shorter than the reference time, and executes second control, for the printer, for discharging the printed matter to a normal discharge unit which does not need a key for taking out the printed matter.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】ユーザが印刷物を取得するまでの時間を短縮する。【解決手段】制御装置は、プロセッサを有し、前記プロセッサは、ユーザ端末から受け付けた印刷指示に基づき印刷機で印刷した場合の印刷時間が、予め定められた基準時間以上である場合に、ユーザが前記印刷機へ到着する前に印刷を開始させ、印刷物の取り出しに鍵を要する鍵付き排出部へ印刷物を排出させる第一制御を前記印刷機に対して行い、前記印刷時間が前記基準時間未満である場合に、ユーザが前記印刷機へ到着した後に、当該印刷機での当該ユーザによる印刷指示の操作なしに印刷を開始させ、印刷物の取り出しに鍵が不要である通常排出部へ印刷物を排出させる第二制御を前記印刷機に対して行う。【選択図】図６
