Abstract
A print setting corresponding to a folder referable by an external apparatus is stored in an image formation apparatus, storage of a file in the folder is detected, the detected file is moved to a storage area in the image formation apparatus, and a print job is generated based on the moved file and information about the print setting corresponding to the detected folder.
Claims9
An image formation apparatus communicable with an external apparatus, comprising:
- a storage unit configured to store a print setting corresponding to a folder referable by an external apparatus;
- a detection unit configured to detect that a file is stored in the folder;
- a movement unit configured to move the file detected by the detection unit to a storage area in the image formation apparatus;
- a first generation unit configured to generate a print job based on the moved file and the print setting stored by the storage unit, the print setting being corresponding to the folder detected by the detection unit;
- and
- a processing unit configured to execute print processing based on the generated print job,
- wherein the storage area, to which the file is moved by the movement unit, in the image formation apparatus is an area inaccessible by an external apparatus.
A control method for an image formation apparatus communicable with an external apparatus, the control method comprising:
- storing a print setting corresponding to a folder referable by an external apparatus;
- detecting that a file is stored in the folder;
- moving the file detected in the detecting to a storage area in the image formation apparatus;
- firstly generating a print job based on the moved file and the print setting stored in the storing, the print setting being corresponding to the folder detected in the detecting;
- and
- executing print processing based on the generated print job,
- wherein the storing, to which the file is moved, in the image formation apparatus is an area inaccessible by an external apparatus.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program, the program causing a computer to function as:
- a storage unit configured to store a print setting corresponding to a folder referable by an external apparatus;
- a detection unit configured to detect that a file is stored in the folder;
- a movement unit configured to move the file detected by the detection unit to a storage area in the image formation apparatus;
- a first generation unit configured to generate a print job based on the moved file and the print setting stored by the storage unit, the print setting being corresponding to the folder detected by the detection unit;
- and
- a processing unit configured to execute print processing based on the generated print job,
- wherein the storage area, to which the file is moved by the movement unit, in the image formation apparatus is an area inaccessible by an external apparatus.
