Print control apparatus, image forming system, and non-transitory computer-readable medium

A print control apparatus comprising:

• an accepting unit that accepts a print request;
• a generating unit that generates, on the basis of a print request accepted by the accepting unit, print data for outputting an image onto printing paper;
• a transmission unit that transmits print data generated by the generating unit to a printing apparatus;
• a display that displays a display screen of a list of a plurality of print requests accepted by the accepting unit, together with process states of the individual print requests;
• a determination unit that determines whether or not a progress speed that is a speed with which processes based on the plurality of print requests are to be completed is equal to or higher than a set value;
• and
• a display controller that, when it is determined by the determination unit that the progress speed is equal to or higher than the set value, performs control of updating the display screen of the list of the print requests, which is displayed on the display, at set time intervals,
• wherein, in a case where the display controller performs control of updating the display screen of the list of the print requests, which is displayed on the display, at the set time intervals, the display controller performs control of not displaying a print request whose process state is a printing state in the display screen of the list of the print requests.

• wherein, in a case where the display controller performs control of updating the display screen of the list of the print requests, which is displayed on the display, at the set time intervals, the display controller performs control of displaying the process states of the print requests in such a manner that the process states of all of the print requests in the display screen of the list of the print requests are each assumed to be a printing-completed state.

An image forming system comprising:

• an accepting unit that accepts a print request;
• a generating unit that generates, on the basis of a print request accepted by the accepting unit, print data for outputting an image onto printing paper;
• a transmission unit that transmits print data generated by the generating unit;
• a display that displays a display screen of a list of a plurality of print requests accepted by the accepting unit, together with process states of the individual print requests;
• a determination unit that determines whether or not a progress speed that is a speed with which processes based on the plurality of print requests are to be completed is equal to or higher than a set value;
• a display controller that, when it is determined by the determination unit that the progress speed is lower than the set value, performs control of updating the display screen of the list of the print requests, which is displayed on the display, at first time intervals, and that, when it is determined by the determination unit that the progress speed is equal to or higher than the set value, performs control of updating the display screen of the list of the print requests, which is displayed on the display, at second time intervals which are longer than the first time intervals;
• and
• a printing apparatus that outputs, onto printing paper, an image based on print data transmitted by the transmission unit.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

• generating, on the basis of an accepted print request, print data for outputting an image onto printing paper, and transmitting the print data to a printing apparatus;
• displaying a display screen of a list of a plurality of accepted print requests together with process states of the individual print requests;
• determining whether or not a progress speed that is a speed with which processes based on the plurality of accepted print requests are to be completed is equal to or higher than a set value;
• and
• performing, when it is determined that the progress speed is lower than the set value, control of updating the display screen of the list of the print requests, which is displayed, at first time intervals, and performing, when it is determined that the progress speed is equal to or higher than the set value, control of updating the display screen of the list of the print requests, which is displayed, at second time intervals which are longer than the first time intervals.
