Image forming apparatus, print system, and recording medium

A print system comprising a plurality of image forming apparatuses, the print system including:

• a first image forming apparatus configured to receive various kinds of job;
• a storage job request apparatus configured to receive a request of a storage job in accordance with operation of an operator, and transmit data of the storage job to the first image forming apparatus;
• and
• a second image forming apparatus configured to display a list of a job or two or more jobs including the storage job, and designate print target data on the basis of the list,
• wherein the first image forming apparatus includes:
• a reception unit configured to receive a job;
• a determination unit configured to analyze job data of the job, and determine whether or not the job involves a storage job for performing data storage processing to a non-volatile storage unit of the first image forming apparatus;
• an analysis unit configured to, in a case where the job is determined to involve the storage job, perform simplified analysis processing for obtaining, on the basis of the job data, list display information for displaying, as a list, storage target data stored by the storage job, prior to the data storage processing;
• and
• a communication unit configured to transmit, to the second image forming apparatus, list information including information about the storage target data which is list information based on the list display information, when the communication unit receives a display request for displaying a list of a job or two or more jobs including the storage job from the second image forming apparatus.

A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable program, the program causing a computer served as an image forming apparatus to execute the processing comprising the steps of:

• a) receiving a job;
• b) analyzing job data of the job, and determining whether or not the job involves a storage job for performing data storage processing to a non-volatile storage unit of the image forming apparatus;
• c) in a case where the job is determined to involve the storage job, performing simplified analysis processing for obtaining, on the basis of the job data, list display information for displaying, as a list, storage target data stored by the storage job, prior to the data storage processing;
• d) when receiving a display request for displaying a list of a job or two or more jobs including the storage job from a second image forming apparatus which is an image forming apparatus different from a first image forming apparatus which is the image forming apparatus, transmitting list information, which indicates information about the storage target data which is list information based on the list display information, to the second image forming apparatus.
