Abstract
In a printing apparatus, a method of controlling the same, and an information processing apparatus, a job for printing front cover image data, main body image data, and back cover image data is received. In the case where the received job is designated to bound printed sheets using rings, the image data is arranged into the printing order of main body image data, front cover image data, and back cover image data or the printing order of back cover image data, front cover image data, and main body image data, after which printing is executed based on the image data in the arranged printing order.
Claims13
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a reception unit configured to receive a job for printing front cover image data, main body image data, and back cover image data;
- a control unit configured to, in the case where the job received by the reception unit is designated to bound printed sheets using rings, arrange the printing order of the image data of the received job into the main body image data, the front cover image data, and the back cover image data or into the back cover image data, the front cover image data, and the main body image data;
- and
- a print unit configured to execute printing based on the image data in the printing order arranged by the control unit.
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- an instruction unit configured to receive an instruction to execute a job for printing front cover image data, main body image data, and back cover image data and bounding printed sheets using rings;
- a control unit configured to, in the case where the instruction has been received by the instruction unit, generate a job in which the printing order of the image data is arranged into the main body image data, the front cover image data, and the back cover image data or the back cover image data, the front cover image data, and the main body image data;
- and
- a transmission unit configured to transmit the job in which the printing order of the image data is arranged by the control unit to a printing apparatus.
A printing apparatus for printing an image onto a recording medium, the apparatus comprising:
- a fixing unit configured to fix the image which has been transferred onto the recording medium, onto the recording medium;
- a ring binding determination unit configured to determine whether or not to bind the recording medium using rings;
- a determination unit configured to determine whether or not it is necessary to change a temperature setting of the fixing unit in accordance with the type of the recording medium;
- and
- a print unit configured to, in the case where the ring binding determination unit has determined that the recording medium is to be bound using rings and the determination unit has determined that it is necessary to change the temperature setting of the fixing unit, execute printing so that the printing of one of multiple copies to be printed is started from printing that uses the same type of recording medium as the recording medium used in the final printing of a copy that is previous to the one of multiple copies.
A control method for controlling a printing apparatus that prints an image onto a recording medium, the image being transferred onto the recording medium and fixed onto the recording medium by a fixing device, the method comprising:
- determining whether or not to bind the recording medium using rings;
- determining whether or not it is necessary to change a temperature setting of the fixing device in accordance with the type of the recording medium;
- and
- in the case where it has been determined that the recording medium is to be bound using rings and it has been determined that it is necessary to change the temperature setting of the fixing device, printing so that the printing of one of multiple copies to be printed is started from printing that uses the same type of recording medium as the recording medium used in the final printing of a copy that is previous to the one of multiple copies.
