Abstract
An apparatus and method for a printing system is provided which determines whether image data input by execution of an input job is a blank and, in a case where the image data is determined to be a blank, the printing system records information indicating the determination of a blank as history information of the input job. Thus, in a case where image data input by execution of an input job is not output by execution of an output job, the user is able to easily confirm the cause of the output failure of the input image data.
Claims15
A system including an image forming apparatus and an information processing apparatus, the system comprising:
- one or more memory devices that store a set of instructions;
- and
- one or more processors that execute the instructions to:
- provide first data that causes the image forming apparatus to print by processing a not blank page, and provide second data that causes the image forming apparatus to not print a blank page;
- generate third data by processing the first data and generate fourth data by processing the second data;
- and
- store the third data and the fourth data in a predetermined area in a storage unit,
- wherein
- the stored third data is not the same data as the first data and the stored fourth data is not the same data as the second data,
- the stored third data and the stored fourth data in the predetermined area are accessible by a user after the printing by the image forming apparatus, and
- the stored third data includes an image representing page data of the blank page and the stored fourth data includes an image representing page data of the not blank page.
A method for controlling a system including an image forming apparatus and an information processing apparatus, comprising:
- providing first data that causes the image forming apparatus to print by processing a not blank page, and providing second data that causes the image forming apparatus to not print a blank page;
- generating third data by processing the first data and generating fourth data by processing the second data;
- and
- storing the third data and the fourth data in a predetermined area in a storage unit,
- wherein
- the stored third data is not the same data as the first data and the stored fourth data is not the same data as the second data,
- the stored third data and the stored fourth data in the predetermined area are accessible by a user after the printing by the image forming apparatus, and
- the stored third data includes an image representing page data of the blank page and the fourth data includes an image representing page data of the not blank page.
A nor-transitory computer-readable storage medium for storing a computer program for controlling an image forming apparatus to execute a method, the method comprising:
- providing first data that causes the image forming apparatus to print by processing a not blank page, and providing second data that causes the image forming apparatus to not print a blank page;
- generating third data by processing the first data and generating fourth data by processing the second data;
- and
- storing the third data and the fourth data in a predetermined area in a storage unit,
- wherein
- the stored third data is not the same data as the first data and the stored fourth data is not the same data as the second data,
- the stored third data and the stored fourth data in the predetermined area are accessible by a user after the printing by the image forming apparatus, and
- the stored third data includes an image representing page data of the blank page and the fourth data includes an image representing page data of the blank page.
