Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a processor configured to: set, if a state of waiting for a result of processing from an external apparatus is established in a case where the processor executes a processing request for which the processor needs to request an external apparatus to perform the processing and receive the result of the processing from the external apparatus, identification information for identifying the processing request and establish a state where the processor can execute another processing request from another user; and output, in a case where the set identification information is input, the result of the processing for the processing request identified with the input identification information.
Claims7
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- set, if a state of waiting for a result of processing from an external apparatus is established in a case where the processor executes a processing request for which the processor needs to request an external apparatus to perform the processing and receive the result of the processing from the external apparatus, identification information for identifying the processing request and establish a state where the processor can execute another processing request from another user;
- and
- print, in a case where the set identification information is input, the result of the processing for the processing request identified with the input identification information, wherein
- the processor is configured to identify, if the processing request identified with the input identification information has not been executed by the image forming apparatus, an external apparatus that has requested to perform part of the processing for the processing request using information included in the input identification information, obtain a result of the processing from the identified external apparatus, and print the result of the processing.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a processor to execute a process comprising:
- setting, if a state of waiting for a result of processing from an external apparatus is established in a case where the processor executes a processing request for which the processor needs to request an external apparatus to perform the processing and receive the result of the processing from the external apparatus, identification information for identifying the processing request and establishing a state where another processing request from another user can be executed;
- and
- printing, in a case where the set identification information is input, the result of the processing for the processing request identified with the input identification information, wherein
- the process includes identifying, if the processing request identified with the input identification information has not been executed by the processor an external apparatus that has requested to perform part of the processing for the processing request using information included in the input identification information, obtaining a result of the processing from the identified external apparatus, and printing the result of the processing.
A method executed by a processor comprising:
- setting, if a state of waiting for a result of processing from an external apparatus is established in a case where the processor executes a processing request for which the processor needs to request an external apparatus to perform the processing and receive the result of the processing from the external apparatus, identification information for identifying the processing request and establishing a state where another processing request from another user can be executed;
- and
- printing, in a case where the set identification information is input, the result of the processing for the processing request identified with the input identification information, wherein
- the method includes identifying if the processing request identified with the input identification information has not been executed by the processor an external apparatus that has requested to perform part of the processing for the processing request using information included in the input identification information, obtaining a result of the processing from the identified external apparatus, and printing the result of the processing.
