Abstract
An issue is solved by determining whether print data includes identification information indicating that there is a target content to which a restriction on a number of times of printing is set, storing determination information for authorizing a reprinting process to be performed when an error occurring in printing the print data as authorization information of the reprinting process, and changing, if it is determined that the identification information is included, the determination information to information indicating not authorizing the reprinting process.
Claims16
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a determination unit configured to determine whether print data includes identification information indicating that there is a target content to which a restriction on a number of times of printing is set;
- a storing unit configured to store determination information indicating whether to authorize a reprinting process to be performed if an error occurs in printing of the print data as information indicating authorization of performing the reprinting process;
- and
- a changing unit configured to change, if the determination unit determines that the identification information is included, the determination information to information indicating not authorizing the reprinting process.
1 more element
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a generation unit configured to generate, if print data is generated based on a print job to an end of a target content to which a restriction on a number of times of printing is set, information indicating an end of the content;
- and
- a storing unit configured to store determination information indicating whether to authorize a reprinting process to be performed for reprinting if an error occurs in the print job as information indicating authorization of the reprinting process in a storage unit before the job is started, and to change, if end information, which indicates that printing of the content is ended and is transmitted when a printing apparatus determines that printing of the content is ended based on information indicating end of the content, is received from the printing apparatus, the determination information to information indicating not authorizing the reprinting process.
A method for performing print control, the method comprising:
- determining whether print data includes identification information indicating that there is a target content to which a restriction on a number of times of printing is set;
- storing determination information indicating whether to authorize a reprinting process to be performed if an error occurs in printing of the print data as information indicating authorization of performing the reprinting process;
- and
- changing, if it is determined that the identification information is included, the determination information to information indicating not authorizing the reprinting process.

A method for performing print control in an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- generating, if print data is generated based on a print job to an end of a target content to which a restriction on a number of times of printing is set, information indicating an end of the content;
- and
- storing determination information indicating whether to authorize a reprinting process to be performed for reprinting if an error occurs in the print job as information indicating authorization of the reprinting process in a storage unit before the job is started, and changing, if end information, which indicates that printing of the content is ended and is transmitted when a printing apparatus determines that printing of the content is ended based on information indicating end of the content, is received from the printing apparatus, the determination information to information indicating not authorizing the reprinting process.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as:
- a determination unit configured to determine whether print data includes identification information indicating that there is a target content to which a restriction on a number of times of printing is set;
- a storing unit configured to store determination information indicating whether to authorize a reprinting process to be performed if an error occurs in printing of the print data as information indicating authorization of performing the reprinting process;
- and
- a changing unit configured to change, if the determination unit determines that the identification information is included, the determination information to information indicating not authorizing the reprinting process.
