Abstract
A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable setting control program operating on an apparatus that corrects a print job, causes the apparatus to perform: by reading previously-registered setting information of the print job, displaying a setting value of each of items in a correctable manner; saving, in a storage, when a setting value of any one of the items is corrected, an uncorrected setting value of the item; and by classifying the items of the print job into a first item a setting value of which has not been corrected and a second item a setting value of which has been corrected, registering, in a database in a distinguishable manner, a set of the first item and the setting value of the first item and a set of the second item and an uncorrected setting value of the second item.
Claims14
A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable program executable by a computer of an apparatus that corrects a print job in a printing system on a communication network, the program being executable by the computer to control the apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- reading previously-registered setting information of the print job, the setting information comprising a plurality of items indicating aspects of the print job and respective setting values of the plurality of items, and the setting information having been obtained via the communication network from an external apparatus;
- displaying the setting information, including the items and the setting values thereof, on a display of the apparatus;
- accepting a correction of the setting value of at least one of the items, by a user of the apparatus;
- in response to a correction of one of the setting values of one of the items by the user, registering a corrected value of the setting value in a storage of the apparatus, and saving a pre-correction value of the setting value in the storage;
- classifying, in the setting information obtained via the network from the external apparatus, each set of one of the items and the setting value thereof as either a first type or a second type, based on whether or not the setting value of the item has been corrected by the user of the apparatus, wherein the first type corresponds to a set of an item and setting value that is considered to be reliable in the setting information, and the second type corresponds to a set of an item and setting value that is not considered to be reliable in the setting information;
- and
- registering, in a database in a distinguishable manner, each set that has been classified as the first type and each set that has been classified as the second type from the setting information, wherein each set that has been classified as the second type includes the item and the stored pre-correction value of the setting value of the item.
A setting control method in a system comprising a first apparatus that performs setting of a print job and a second apparatus that corrects the print job in a printing system on a communication network, the method comprising:
- by the first apparatus:
- accepting a setting operation of the print job;
- and
- registering setting information of the print job, the setting information comprising a plurality of items indicating aspects of the print job and respective setting values of the plurality of items;
- and
- by the second apparatus:
- obtaining, via the communication network, the setting information registered by the first apparatus;
- displaying the setting information, including the items and the setting values thereof, on a display of the second apparatus;
- accepting a correction of the setting value of at least one of the items, by a user of the second apparatus;
- in response to a correction of one of the setting values of one of the items by the user, registering a corrected value of the setting value in a storage of the second apparatus, and saving a pre-correction value of the setting value in the storage;
- classifying, in the setting information obtained via the network from the first apparatus, each set of one of the items and the setting value thereof as either a first type or a second type, based on whether or not the setting value of the item has been corrected by the user of the second apparatus, wherein the first type corresponds to a set of an item and setting value that is considered to be reliable in the setting information, and the second type corresponds to a set of an item and setting value that is not considered to be reliable in the setting information;
- registering, in a database in a distinguishable manner, each set that has been classified as the first type and each set that has been classified as the second type from the setting information, wherein each set that has been classified as the second type includes the item and the stored pre-correction value of the setting value of the item.
