Printing system, control method thereof, program, and storage medium

Abstract

An object of this invention is to process as many print jobs as possible even if requests to print various types of print jobs requiring various types of print media are simultaneously intensively accepted. Another object of this invention is to build a convenient, flexible printing environment where the productivity of one job is increased by shortening the time taken to end printing one print job after the start of printing. To accomplish them, a control unit (205) in a printing system (1000) accepts an instruction “to attach importance to productivity”. In this case, the control unit (205) causes the printing system (1000) to automatically execute the first operation without any operator operation and without stopping the printing operation when the remaining numbers of print media in all available feeding units used in print processing have reached a lower limit value.
