Claims9
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of sheet storage units configured to accommodate sheets;
- a holding unit configured to store a job;
- a determining unit configured to determine whether a job to be processed next is added with a suspension command for suspending a start of the job until a specific sheet can be supplied from a specific sheet storage unit;
- a job control unit configured to perform control, in a case wherein the determining unit determines that the suspension command is added, to process first a subsequent job which does not use the specific sheet and to suspend a start of the job added with the suspension command until the specific sheet to be used can be supplied from the specific sheet storage unit;
- and
- a printing unit configured to perform printing of the job added with the suspension command in response to a case wherein the specific sheet can be supplied from the specific sheet storage unit.
A method for controlling a printing apparatus including a plurality of sheet storage units for supplying a sheet and a holding unit for storing jobs in order of reception, the method comprising:
- determining whether a job to be processed next is added with a suspension command for suspending a start of the job until a specific sheet can be supplied from a specific sheet storage unit;
- performing control, in a case wherein it is determined that the suspension command is added, to process first a subsequent job which does not use the specific sheet and to suspend a start of the job added with the suspension command until the specific sheet to be used can be supplied from the specific sheet storage unit;
- and
- performing printing of the job added with the suspension command in response to a case wherein the specific sheet can be supplied from the specific sheet storage unit.
A computer readable storage medium for storing a computer program for controlling a printing apparatus including a plurality of sheet storage units for supplying a sheet and a holding unit for storing jobs in order of reception, the computer program comprising:
- a code to determine whether a job to be processed next is added with a suspension command for suspending a start of the job until a specific sheet can be supplied from a specific sheet storage unit;
- a code to perform control, in a case wherein it is determined that the suspension command is added, to process first a subsequent job which does not use the specific sheet and to suspend a start of the job added with the suspension command until the specific sheet to be used can be supplied from the specific sheet storage unit;
- and
- a code to perform printing of the job added with the suspension command in response to a case wherein the specific sheet can be supplied from the specific sheet storage unit.
