Abstract
A print server checks a job ticket for a print job to be processed. When a method of printing set in the printing attributes of the job ticket is case binding, a first thickness of a bookblock is calculated using the paper type set in the printing attributes. The print server calculates a second thickness of a bookblock using the paper type after a change. The print server changes the paper type set in the job ticket when the difference between the first thickness and the second thickness is within a permissible range.
Claims19
A print processing system configured to receive a print job input from an application and to retain and edit the print job, the print processing system comprising:
- a first determination unit configured to determine whether a setting related to post-processing of a print product in the print job is affected by paper thickness;
- a second determination unit configured to determine whether a difference between a first dimension and a second dimension is within a first permissible range when the first determination unit determines that the setting related to post-processing of the print product in the print job is affected by paper thickness, the first dimension being with respect to a direction of thickness at a predetermined position on an output product obtained by post-processing of the print product before a change in the setting and the second dimension being with respect to a direction of thickness at a predetermined position on an output product obtained by post-processing of the print product after the change in the setting;
- a setting change unit configured to change the setting related to post-processing of the print product to the setting after the change when the second determination unit determines that the difference between the first dimension and the second dimension is within the first permissible range;
- and
- a setting change limitation unit configured to limit a change on the setting related to post-processing of the print product when the second determination unit determines that the difference between the first dimension and the second dimension is not within the first permissible range.
A print processing method for receiving a print job input from an application and retaining and editing the print job, the print processing method comprising:
- determining whether a setting related to post-processing of a print product in the print job is affected by paper thickness;
- determining whether a difference between a first dimension and a second dimension is within a first permissible range when it is determined that the setting related to post-processing of the print product in the print job is affected by paper thickness, the first dimension being with respect to a direction of thickness at a predetermined position on an output product obtained by post-processing of the print product before a change in the setting and the second dimension being with respect to a direction of thickness at a predetermined position on an output product obtained by post-processing of the print product after the change in the setting;
- changing the setting related to post-processing of the print product to the setting after the change when it is determined that the difference between the first dimension and the second dimension is within the first permissible range;
- and
- limiting a change on the setting related to post-processing of the print product when it is determined that the difference between the first dimension and the second dimension is not within the first permissible range.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to execute a method for receiving a print job input from an application and retaining and editing the print job, the method comprising:
- determining whether a setting related to post-processing of a print product in the print job is affected by paper thickness;
- determining whether a difference between a first dimension and a second dimension is within a permissible range when it is determined that the setting related to post-processing of the print product in the print job is affected by paper thickness, the first dimension being with respect to a direction of thickness at a predetermined position on an output product obtained by post-processing of the print product before a change in the setting and the second dimension being with respect to a direction of thickness at a predetermined position on an output product obtained by post-processing of the print product after the change in the setting;
- changing the setting related to post-processing of the print product to the setting after the change when it is determined that the difference between the first dimension and the second dimension is within the permissible range;
- and
- limiting the change on the setting related to post-processing of the print product when it is determined that the difference between the first dimension and the second dimension is not within the permissible range.
