Abstract
Provided is a printing system in which a mobile terminal that instructs the print service device to print without specifying an image forming device that executes printing in response to a selection of document data, and the print service device transmits a command for causing the terminal device to write, in the near field communication unit of the terminal device, storage information related to a storage location on the network of the print job generated upon receiving the instruction, and the image processing device activates the near field communication unit of the image processing device, and acquires the print job based on the storage information acquired by the acquisition unit and print the print job
Claims9
A printing system comprising:
- a print service device that transmits a print job generated based on document data to an image processing device via a network;
- a terminal device that includes a non-contact near field communication unit;
- and
- the image processing device that includes the non-contact near field communication unit,
- wherein the terminal device comprises:
- an instruction unit configured to provide an instruction for printing to the print service device without specifying the image processing device that executes printing in response to a selection of the document data,
- wherein the print service device comprises:
- a transmission unit configured to transmit a command for causing the terminal device to write, in the near field communication unit of the terminal device, storage information related to a storage location on the network of the print job generated upon receiving the instruction, and
- wherein the image processing device comprises:
- an acquisition unit configured to initiate communication through the near field communication unit of the image processing device so as to acquire the storage information written in the near field communication unit of the terminal device;
- and
- a print unit configured to acquire the print job based on the storage information acquired by the acquisition unit and print the print job.
A control method of a printing system comprising:
- a print service device that transmits a print job generated based on document data to an image processing device via a network;
- a terminal device that includes a non-contact near field communication unit;
- and
- the image processing device that includes the non-contact near field communication unit,
- the control method comprising:
- instructing, by the terminal device, the print service device to print without specifying the image processing device that executes printing in response to a selection of the document data;
- transmitting, by the print service, a command for causing the terminal device to write, in the near communication unit of the terminal device, storage information related to a storage location on the network of the print job generated upon receiving the instruction;
- initiating, by the image processing device, communication through the near field communication unit of the image processing device so as to acquire the storage information written in the near field communication unit of the terminal device;
- and
- acquiring, by the image processing device, the print job based on the storage information acquired by the acquisition unit and print the print job.
A non-transitory storage medium on which is stored a computer program for making a computer execute a control method of a printing system comprising:
- a print service device that transmits a print job generated based on document data to an image processing device via a network;
- a terminal device that includes a non-contact near field communication unit;
- and
- the image processing device that includes the non-contact near field communication unit,
- the control method comprising:
- instructing, by the terminal device, the print service device to print without specifying the image processing device that executes printing in response to a selection of the document data;
- transmitting, by the print service, a command for causing the terminal device to write, in the near field communication unit of the terminal device, storage information related to a storage location on the network of the print job generated upon receiving the instruction;
- initiating, by the image processing device, communication through the near field communication unit of the image processing device so as to acquire the storage information written in the near field communication unit of the terminal device;
- and
- acquiring, by the image processing device, the print lob based on the storage information acquired by the acquisition unit and print the print job.
