Abstract
A printing control device includes a data acquiring unit configured to acquire gloss-control plane data that indicates a plurality of types of surface effects to be applied to one page of a recording medium and areas to which the respective types of surface effects are to be applied in the one page of the recording medium. The types of surface effects correspond respectively to a plurality of types of post-processing that are incapable of being simultaneously performed on the one page of the recording medium by a post-processing device that performs post-processing for a clear toner transferred onto the recording medium. The printing control device also includes a determining unit configured to determine one of the types of post-processing to be preferentially performed on the one page of the recording medium, based on priority information that indicates which type of post-processing is to be preferentially performed.
