Abstract
The present invention is characterized by requesting a user to login if the user has not been authenticated when executing sheet processing on a sheet with a post-processing apparatus without performing printing by a printing apparatus, authenticating the user in accordance with acquired user information, and, when authentication is successful, causing the post-processing apparatus to execute the sheet processing on the sheet, and recording an execution history of the sheet processing by the sheet processing apparatus as an execution history of the authenticated user.
Claims11
A printing apparatus that prints an image on a sheet and is capable of conveying the sheet to a sheet processing apparatus, comprising:
- an authentication unit configured to execute authentication processing for authenticating a user if the user has not been authenticated, when causing the sheet processing apparatus to execute sheet processing on a sheet without performing printing by the printing apparatus;
- and
- a control unit configured to permit the sheet processing by the sheet processing apparatus in a case where the user is authenticated as a result of the authentication processing by the authentication unit.
A sheet processing apparatus for being connected to a printing apparatus that prints an image on a sheet and executing sheet processing on a sheet, comprising:
- a detection unit provided near a discharging port that discharges sheets from the sheet processing apparatus, and configured to detect that a sheet has been inserted through the discharging port;
- a request unit configured to request the printing apparatus to perform user authentication, in a case where a sheet is detected by the detection unit;
- an execution unit configured to execute sheet processing on a sheet when the authentication processing requested by the request unit is successful;
- and
- a notification unit configured to notify an execution history of the sheet processing by the execution unit to the printing apparatus as an execution history of an authenticated user.
A sheet processing apparatus for connecting to a printing apparatus that prints an image on a sheet and executing sheet processing on a sheet, comprising:
- a detection unit provided near a discharging port that discharges sheets from the sheet processing apparatus, and configured to detect that a sheet has been inserted through the discharging port;
- a request unit configured to request a user to login if the user has not been authenticated, in a case where a sheet is detected by the detection unit;
- an authentication unit configured to authenticate the user in accordance with user information acquired in response of the request by the request unit;
- an execution unit configured to execute sheet processing on a sheet when the authentication processing by the authentication unit is successful;
- and
- a recording unit configured to record an execution history of the sheet processing by the execution unit in the printing apparatus as an execution history of a user authenticated by the authentication unit.
A control method of a printing apparatus that prints an image on a sheet and is capable of conveying the sheet to a sheet processing apparatus, comprising:
- executing authentication processing for authenticating a user if the user has not been authenticated, when causing the sheet processing apparatus to execute sheet processing on a sheet without performing printing by the printing apparatus;
- and
- permitting the sheet processing by the sheet processing apparatus in a case where the user is authenticated as a result of the authentication processing.
