Abstract
An image forming apparatus, comprises: a setting unit configured to set a divider region in a group of images that are continuously printed during feeding from a feeding apparatus in which a roll-shaped printing medium has been set, the divider region being for separating the roll-shaped printing medium into a plurality of rolls. The setting unit sets the divider region based on the number of rolls indicating the count of the plurality of rolls, the number of rolls being required in terms of a configuration of a post-processing device that executes post-processing with respect to the roll-shaped printing medium on which printing has been performed by the printing unit.
Claims16
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory and at least one processor which cause the image forming apparatus to:
- (1) in a case where rolls are divided from a roll-shaped printing medium, obtain a number of rolls based on specification information of a roll which is able to be provided in a post-processing device;
- (2) perform control so as to display a screen on which can be designated information of a group of images, among a group of images designated by a job, corresponding to each of rolls in the obtained number of rolls;
- (3) set a divider region in the group of images designated by the job based on the information of the group of images designated on the screen, the divider region being for dividing the roll-shaped printing medium into of the rolls in the obtained number of rolls;
- and
- (4) perform control so as to print, on the roll-shaped printing medium, the group of images designated by the job in which the divider region has been reflected,
- wherein information of a print length, a print weight, or a diameter of a roll sheet is displayed together with the information of the group of images corresponding to each of the rolls in the obtained number of rolls.
A method comprising:
- in a case where rolls are divided from a roll-shaped printing medium, obtaining a number of rolls based on specification information of a roll which is able to be provided in a post-processing device;
- performing control so as to display a screen on which can be designated information of a group of images, among a group of images designated by a job, corresponding to each of rolls in the obtained number of rolls;
- setting a divider region in the group of images designated by the job based on the information of the group of images designated on the screen, the divider region being for dividing the roll-shaped printing medium into the rolls in the obtained number of rolls;
- and
- printing, on the roll-shaped printing medium, the group of images designated by the job in which the set divider region has been reflected,
- wherein information of a print length, a print weight, or a diameter of a roll sheet is displayed together with the information of the group of images corresponding to each of the rolls in the obtained number of rolls.
