Control apparatus, non-transitory computer readable medium, and printer

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

• executing a first control if a printing time is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference time, the printing time being for a case of using a printer to print on a basis of a print instruction received from a user terminal, the first control causing the printer to start printing before a user reaches the printer, and causing printed material to be delivered into a locked delivery unit that requires a key for retrieval of the printed material;
• and
• executing a second control if the printing time is less than the reference time, the second control causing the printer to start printing after the user reaches the printer, without involving an operation of giving a print instruction performed by the user on the printer, and causing the printed material to be delivered into a normal delivery unit that does not require a key for retrieval of the printed material.

A printer wherein:

• if a printing time is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference time, the printing time being for a case of using the printer to print on a basis of a print instruction received from a user terminal, the printer starts printing before a user reaches the printer and delivers printed material into a locked delivery unit that requires a key for retrieval of the printed material;
• and
• if the printing time is less than the reference time, the printer starts printing after the user reaches the printer, without involving an operation of giving a print instruction performed by the user on the printer, and delivers the printed material into a normal delivery unit that does not require a key for retrieval of the printed material.
