Claims15
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a reception unit configured to receive a job ticket;
- a first analysis unit configured to analyze part of the job ticket;
- a transmission unit configured to transmit an acquisition request for a print file to an external apparatus based on a result of analysis by the first analysis unit;
- a second analysis unit configured to analyze the job ticket;
- and
- a control unit configured to control printing based on a result of analysis by the second analysis unit and the print file acquired from the external apparatus based on the acquisition request to the external apparatus.
A method for controlling an image forming apparatus, comprising:
- receiving a job ticket;
- analyzing part of the job ticket as a first analysis;
- transmitting an acquisition request for a print file to an external apparatus based on a result of the first analysis;
- analyzing the job ticket as a second analysis;
- and
- controlling printing based on a result of the second analysis and the print file acquired from the external apparatus based on the acquisition request to the external apparatus.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program including executable instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of an image forming apparatus, cause the image forming apparatus to:
- receive a job ticket;
- analyze part of the job ticket as a first analysis;
- transmit an acquisition request for a print file to an external apparatus based on a result of the first analysis;
- analyze the job ticket as a second analysis;
- and
- control printing based on a result of the second analysis and the print file acquired from the external apparatus based on the acquisition request to the external apparatus.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a reception unit configured to receive a job ticket;
- an analysis unit configured to analyze the job ticket;
- a transmission unit configured to transmit an acquistion request for a print file to an external apparatus;
- and
- a control unit configured to control printing based on a result of analysis by the analysis unit and the print file acquired from the external apparatus based on the acquistion request to the external apparatus,
- wherein the transmission unit is configured to tranmsit the acquistion request for the print file to the external apparatus based on a result of analyzing part of the job ticket.
