Abstract
A printing system includes a printing apparatus that prints an image on a sheet, a sheet processer that executes sheet processing, and a sheet detection sensor that detects a sheet on which the sheet processing is performed not in association with the printing of an image, where the printing of an image is restricted in response to detection of a sheet by the sheet detection sensor.
Claims14
A printing apparatus connectable with a sheet processing apparatus capable of executing a binding process for a first sheet conveyed from the printing apparatus, and capable of executing the binding process for a second sheet which is manually inserted into a sheet insertion port provided in the sheet processing apparatus and is detected by a sensor, the printing apparatus comprising:
- a printer configured to print an image on the first sheet;
- and
- a controller including one or more processors, the controller configured to control the printer to execute a printing process in which the printer performs printing on the first sheet,
- wherein, in a case where the sensor detects the second sheet inserted into the sheet insertion port, regardless of whether the printer is performing the printing at a time when the sensor detects the second sheet inserted into the sheet insertion port, the controller allows the sheet processing apparatus to execute the binding process for the second sheet inserted into the sheet insertion port.
A printing system comprising:
- a printer configured to print on a first sheet;
- a sheet processing apparatus comprising a binding device configured to execute a binding process, a sheet insertion port into which a user manually inserts a second sheet, and a sensor configured to detect the second sheet inserted into the sheet insertion port, wherein the binding device executes the binding process for the first sheet printed by the printer, and executes the binding process for the second sheet which is manually inserted into the sheet insertion port and is detected by the sensor;
- and
- a controller including one or more processors, the controller configured to control the printer to execute a printing process in which the printer performs printing on the first sheet,
- wherein, in a case where the sensor detects the second sheet inserted into the sheet insertion port, regardless of whether the printer is performing the printing at a time when the sensor detects the second sheet inserted into the sheet insertion port, the controller allows the binding device to execute the binding process for the second sheet inserted into the sheet insertion port.
A printing apparatus connectable with a sheet processing apparatus configured to execute a binding process for a sheet printed by the printing apparatus, the printing apparatus comprising:
- a printer configured to print on the sheet;
- and
- a controller including one or more processors, the controller configured to control the printer to execute a printing process in which the printer performs printing on the sheet,
- wherein, in a case where the sheet processing apparatus detects a sheet which is not subjected to be printed by the printer, regardless of whether the printer is executing the printing process, the controller allows the sheet processing apparatus to bind the detected sheet.
