Printing system executing two or more target jobs in response to completion of settlement of total fee

A printing device comprising:

• a printing mechanism configured to perform printing;
• an operation interface;
• and
• a controller configured to perform:
• transmitting a print job to a data processing server;
• receiving via the operation interface selections of two or more print jobs to be executed as two or more target jobs from among a plurality of print jobs stored in a storage managed by the data processing server;
• receiving from the data processing server information related to a total fee for executing printing of the two or more target jobs;
• displaying a screen having the total fee associated with the two or more target jobs, the screen further comprising an additional file selection element;
• in response to an input to the additional file selection element, displaying another screen to select one or more additional print jobs;
• receiving a selection of one or more additional print jobs from the another screen;
• transmitting to the data processing server a request to calculate an updated total fee for executing printing of the two or more target jobs and the one or more additional print jobs selected,
• receiving from the data processing server information related to the updated total fee for executing printing of the two or more target jobs and the one or more additional print jobs, the updated total fee being determined by adding a fee for the one or more additional print jobs to a fee for the two or more target jobs;
• displaying a screen having the updated total fee;
• and
• executing the two or more target jobs and the one or more additional print jobs to print images by using the printing mechanism in response to completion of settlement of the updated total fee, the updated total fee being charged for executing the two or more target jobs and the one or more additional print jobs.

A printing method comprising:

• storing a plurality of print jobs;
• generating a plurality of pieces of job identification information identifying respective ones of the plurality of print jobs stored;
• receiving selections of two or more print jobs to be executed as two or more target jobs from among the plurality of print jobs stored;
• determining a total fee to be charged for executing the two or more target jobs;
• generating one piece of group identification information in response to determination of the total fee, the one piece of group identification information being associated with two or more pieces of job identification information for identifying respective ones of the two or more target jobs among the plurality of pieces of job identification information so that the one piece of group identification information is associated with the total fee for executing the two or more target jobs;
• transmitting, to a transaction server, a payment reservation request including the one piece of group identification information, information on the total fee associated with the one piece of group identification information and confirmation location for confirming a payment of the total fee, the payment reservation request being configured to cause the transaction server to transmit a payment location;
• receiving payment information including the payment location from the transaction server;
• generating a code encoding the payment location received from the transaction server;
• transmitting the code via a printer;
• and
• transmitting payment completion information generated from the payment information to the printer so that print images based on the two or more target jobs are generated in the printer after completion of settlement of the total fee.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a set of program instructions executed by a computer included in a printing device, the printing device further including a printing mechanism configured to perform printing and an operation interface, the set of program instructions, when executed by the computer causes the computer to perform:

• transmitting a print job to a data processing server;
• receiving via the operation interface selections of two or more print jobs to be executed as two or more target jobs from among a plurality of print jobs stored in a storage managed by the data processing server;
• receiving from the data processing server information related to a total fee for executing printing of the two or more target jobs;
• displaying a screen having the total fee associated with the two or more target jobs, the screen further comprising an additional file selection element;
• in response to an input to the additional file selection element, displaying another screen to select one or more additional print jobs;
• receiving a selection of one or more additional print jobs from the another screen;
• transmitting to the data processing server a request to calculate an updated total fee for executing printing of the two or more target jobs and the one or more additional print jobs selected,
• receiving from the data processing server information related to the updated total fee for executing printing of the two or more target jobs and the one or more additional print jobs, the updated total fee being determined by adding a fee for the one or more additional print jobs to a fee for the two or more target jobs;
• displaying a screen having the updated total fee;
• and
• executing the two or more target jobs and the one or more additional print jobs to print images by using the printing mechanism in response to completion of settlement of the updated total fee, the updated total fee being charged for executing the two or more target jobs and the one or more additional print jobs.
