Abstract
An image filing apparatus prints a search (mark) sheet, on which the reduced image of the first page of a document stored on an optical magnetic disk is written, from a printer unit. When the printer unit cannot print the search sheet because no paper is available or the like, information indicating that the search sheet was not output is recorded on the magnetic optical disk is displayed on the operation screen of a touch panel display. A search sheet print key is also displayed on the operation screen. When the search sheet key is depressed, the not yet output search sheet is then printed.
Claims22
An image filing apparatus for printing a search sheet used to search for a document file stored to a storage medium by a printer after the document file is stored, comprising:
- determination means for determining whether or not the printer is in a print possible state before the search sheet is printed;
- designation means for designating whether or not print processing of the search sheet is to be canceled when it is determined by said determination means that the printer is not in the print possible state;
- and
- control means for storing data indicating that the search sheet is not output and is being saved as a not output search sheet and for interrupting the print processing of the search sheet when cancellation is designated by said designation means.
A control method of an image filing apparatus for printing a search sheet used to search for a document file stored to a storage medium by a printer after the document file is stored, comprising:
- a first determination step for determining whether or not the printer is in a print possible state before the search sheet is printed;
- a second determination step for determining whether or not an indication for canceling print processing of the search sheet is input when it is determined that the printer is not in the print possible state by said first determination step;
- and
- an interruption control step for saving data indicating that the search sheet is not output and is being saved as a not output search sheet, and for interrupting the print processing of the search sheet when it is determined by the second determination step that the indication for cancellation is input.
An image filing apparatus for printing a search sheet used to search for a document file stored to a storage medium by a printer after the document file is stored, comprising:
- determination means for determining whether or not the printer is in a print possible state before the search sheet is printed;
- interruption control means for interrupting print processing of the search sheet when said determination means determines that the printer is not in the print possible state and for saving the search sheet as a not output search sheet;
- and
- key input control means for making a search sheet print key effective to input an indication for causing the not output search sheet to be printed when the printer is next placed in the print possible state after the print processing of the search sheet is interrupted by said interruption control means.
