Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a first ejection destination, a second ejection destination, and a controller. The first ejection destination is a destination to which sheets having an image formed thereon by using rendered data are to be ejected. The second ejection destination is a destination to which a sheet serving as a sample print among the sheets is to be ejected. The controller sets the sheet serving as the sample print by using at least one of pixel density, number of colored pixels, number of extra colors, number of objects, object size, and object color information that are included in the rendered data.
Claims12
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a first ejection tray configured to receive a plurality of sheets belonging to a print job, the plurality of sheets having an image formed thereon by using rendered data;
- a second ejection tray configured to receive a sample print selected from the plurality of sheets belonging to the print job, the sample print being a single sheet of the plurality of sheets;
- and
- a controller configured to select the sample print from the plurality of sheets belonging to the print job upon the sample print being requested during a performance of the print job by:
- using the rendered data of each of the plurality of sheets belonging to the print job and remaining to be printed by the image forming apparatus, the rendered data selected from a group consisting of:
- pixel density, number of colored pixels, number of extra colors, number of objects, object size, and object color information;
- and
- comparing the rendered data of each of the plurality of sheets belonging to the print job and remaining to be printed by the image forming apparatus with a threshold.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a first ejection tray configured to receive a plurality of sheets belonging to a print job, the plurality of sheets having an image formed thereon by using rendered data;
- a second ejection tray configured to receive a sample print selected from the plurality of sheets belonging to the print job, the sample print being a single sheet of the plurality of sheets;
- and
- a controller configured to select the sample print from the plurality of sheets belonging to the print job upon the sample print being requested during a performance of the print job by:
- using the rendered data of each of the plurality of sheets belonging to the print job and remaining to be printed by the image forming apparatus, the rendered data including information indicating presence or absence of an extra color;
- and
- comparing the rendered data of each of the plurality of sheets belonging to the print job and remaining to be printed by the image forming apparatus with a threshold.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:
- receiving a print job;
- generating intermediate data by interpreting the received print job;
- generating rendered data from the intermediate data;
- ejecting, to a first ejection tray, a plurality of sheets belonging to the print job, the plurality of sheets having an image formed thereon by using the rendered data;
- and
- ejecting, to a second ejection tray, a sample print selected as a single sheet from the plurality of sheets belonging to the print job upon the sample print being requested during a performance of the print job, the sample print being selected from the plurality of sheets belonging to the print job by:
- using the rendered data of each of the plurality of sheets belonging to the print job and remaining to be printed by the image forming apparatus, the rendered data selected from a group consisting of:
- pixel density, number of colored pixels, number of extra colors, number of objects, object size, and object color information;
- and
- comparing the rendered data of each of the plurality of sheets belonging to the print job and remaining to be printed by the image forming apparatus with a threshold.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:
- receiving a print job;
- generating intermediate data by interpreting the received print job;
- generating rendered data from the intermediate data;
- ejecting, to a first ejection tray, a plurality of sheets belonging to the print job, the plurality of sheets having an image formed thereon by using the rendered data;
- and
- ejecting, to a second ejection tray, a sample print selected from the plurality of sheets belonging to the print job, the sample print being selected from the plurality of sheets belonging to the print job by:
- using the rendered data of each of the plurality of sheets belonging to the print job upon the sample print being requested during a performance of the print job, the rendered data including information indicating presence or absence of an extra color;
- and
- comparing the rendered data of each of the plurality of sheets belonging to the print job and remaining to be printed by the image forming apparatus with a threshold.
