Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a printing unit that performs printing based on a job, a setting unit that sets a setting specifying whether billing is to be performed for printing performed by the printing unit, and a control unit that, in a case where printing performed by the printing unit is interrupted due to occurrence of a job interruption event, if a setting specifying that billing is not to be performed is set by the setting unit, executes cancellation of the job when a predetermined time period elapses without a cause of the interruption being cleared and, if a setting specifying that billing is to be performed is set by the setting unit, does not execute the cancellation.
Claims14
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- one or more controllers, having at least one processor that executes a program or having at least one application specific integrated circuit, configured to function as
- a first setting unit configured to set a first mode in which an amount of put money is determined before printing or a second mode in which money is not needed to be put for printing;
- a second setting unit configured to set a cancellation mode in which, based on a predetermined time elapsing while an error that hinders execution of a print job that is being executed is not removed, the print job is cancelled;
- a cancelling unit configured to cancel, in a case that the cancellation mode has been set by the second setting unit, the print job based on the predetermined time elapsing while the error is not removed;
- and
- a disabling unit configured to disable, based on setting of the first mode by the first setting unit, the cancellation mode set by the second setting unit,
- wherein the disabling unit does not disable, based on setting of the second mode by the first setting unit, the cancellation mode set by the second setting unit.
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- one or more controllers, having at least one processor that executes a program or having at least one application specific integrated circuit, configured to function as:
- a first setting unit configured to set a first mode in which an amount of put money is determined before printing or a second mode in which money is not needed to be put for printing;
- a second setting unit configured to set a cancellation mode in which, based on a predetermined time elapsing while an error that hinders execution of a print job that is being executed is not removed, the print job is cancelled;
- a cancelling unit configured to cancel, in a case that the cancellation mode has been set by the second setting unit, the print job based on the predetermined time elapsing while the error is not removed;
- and
- a controlling unit configured to, based on setting of the first mode by the first setting unit, performs control so as not to receive, from a user, setting of the cancellation mode,
- wherein the controlling unit is capable of receiving, from the user, setting of the cancellation mode while the second mode has been set by the first setting unit.
A method for controlling an image forming apparatus, comprising:
- setting a first mode in which an amount of put money is determined before printing or a second mode in which money is not needed to be put for printing;
- setting a cancellation mode in which, based on a predetermined time elapsing while an error that hinders execution of a print job that is being executed is not removed, the print job is cancelled;
- cancelling, in a case that the cancellation mode has been set by the second setting unit, the print job based on the predetermined time elapsing while the error is not removed;
- disabling, based on setting of the first mode, setting of the cancellation mode by a user,
- wherein setting of the cancellation mode by the user is not disabled based on setting of the second mode.
