Abstract
Attribute information representing the attributes of a printing medium is stored for each printing medium. Upon receiving a print job which designates the attributes of a printing medium, it is determined whether attribute information representing the attributes designated by the print job is stored. When it is determined that the attribute information is not stored, the attribute information representing the attributes designated by the print job is newly registered.
Claims14
An linage forming apparatus which prints on a printing medium based on a print job, the apparatus comprising:
- a storage unit configured to store, for each printing medium, attribute information representing an attribute of the printing medium;
- an acquisition, unit configured, to acquire the print job that designates an attribute of the printing medium;
- a determination unit configured to determine whether said storage unit stores attribute information representing the attribute designated by the print job;
- and
- a registration unit configured to, when said determination unit determines that said storage unit does not store the attribute information representing the attribute designated by the print job, newly register, in said storage unit, the attribute information representing the attribute designated by the print job.
An information processing method which is executed in an image forming apparatus that includes a storage unit that stores, for each printing medium, attribute information representing an attribute of the printing medium, and prints on a printing medium, based on a print job, the method comprising:
- an acquisition step of acquiring the print job that designates an attribute of the printing medium;
- a determination step of determining whether the storage unit stores attribute information representing the attribute designated by the print job;
- and
- a registration step of, when the storage unit is determined in the determination step not to store the attribute information representing the attribute designated by the print job, newly registering, in the storage unit, the attribute information representing the attribute designated by the print job.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute
- an acquisition step of acquiring a print job that designates an attribute of a printing medium,
- a determination step of determining whether a storage unit that stores, for each printing medium, attribute information representing an attribute of the printing medium which stores attribute information representing the attribute designated by the print job, and
- a registration step of, when the storage unit is determined in the determination step not to store the attribute information representing the attribute designated by the print job, newly registering, in the storage unit, the attribute information representing the attribute designated by the print job.
