Information processing apparatus, inspection apparatus, and control method

A control method for an information processing apparatus communicably connected via a printer to an inspection apparatus, the inspection apparatus including at least one processor configured to perform an inspection of a print product, the information processing apparatus including a user interface configured to receive an input from a user, the control method comprising:

• receiving a first job execution instruction based on one or more inputs received via the user interface;
• transmitting, to the printer, a first job for registering a reference image to be used in the inspection;
• and
• transmitting, to the printer, a second job for printing an image corresponding to the reference image on a recording sheet,
• wherein, in a case where the first job execution instruction is received while the inspection apparatus is executing the second job that precedes the first job and corresponds to a second job execution instruction different from the first job execution instruction, the first job is not transmitted until the preceding second job is completed.

An inspection apparatus configured to receive jobs from an information processing apparatus via a printer, the inspection apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories storing one or more programs including instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the inspection apparatus to:
• receive a first job for registering image data as a reference image;
• perform registration processing to register the image data on the received first job as the reference image;
• and
• in a case where a scanned image obtained by scanning a print product is received, perform inspection processing on the print product based on the scanned image and the reference image,
• wherein, in a case where a second job for registering image data as a reference image is received during the inspection processing, registration processing is not performed on the image data on the second job.

A control method for an inspection apparatus configured to receive jobs from an information processing apparatus via a printer, the control method comprising:

• receiving a first job for registering image data as a reference image;
• performing registration processing to register the image data on the received first job as the reference image;
• and
• in a case where a scanned image obtained by scanning a print product is received, performing inspection processing on the print product based on the scanned image and the reference image,
• wherein, in a case where a second job for registering image data as a reference image is received during the inspection processing, registration processing is not performed on the image data on the second job.

An information processing apparatus communicably connected to a print inspection apparatus, the print inspection apparatus including at least one processor configured to perform inspection processing on a print product, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• a user interface configured to receive an input from a user;
• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories storing one or more programs including instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the information processing apparatus to:
• receive a first job execution instruction based on one or more inputs received via the user interface;
• transmit, to the print inspection apparatus, a first job for registering a reference image to be used in the inspection processing;
• and
• transmit, to the print inspection apparatus, a second job for printing an image corresponding to the reference image on a recording sheet and performing the inspection processing,
• wherein, in a case where the first job execution instruction is received during inspection processing that is based on the second job that precedes the first job and corresponds to a second job execution instruction different from the first job execution instruction, the first job is not transmitted until the preceding second job is completed.
