Abstract
An image forming apparatus which uses a printing control technique for, even when a third-party finisher whose performance is unknown is connected to the image forming apparatus, realizing a sheet-feeding judgment with consideration given to the performance of the finisher and preventing degradation of working efficiency. When an error notification is received from a post-processing apparatus, a type of a sheet discharged to the post-processing apparatus is identified. The identified type is managed as a type of a prohibited sheet prohibited from being discharged to the post-processing apparatus.
Claims7
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a printing unit configured to perform printing;
- a sheet-discharging unit configured to discharge a sheet, on which the printing has been performed, to a post-processing apparatus;
- an identifying unit configured to, upon receiving an error notification from the post-processing apparatus, identify a type of the sheet discharged to the post-processing apparatus by said sheet-discharging unit;
- and
- a management unit configured to manage the type, which has been identified by said identifying unit, as a type of a prohibited sheet prohibited from being discharged to the post-processing apparatus.
A control method for a printing apparatus comprising:
- a printing step of performing printing;
- a sheet-discharging step of discharging a sheet, on which the printing has been performed, to a post-processing apparatus;
- an identifying step of, upon receiving an error notification from the post-processing apparatus, identifying a type of the sheet discharged to the post-processing apparatus in said sheet-discharging step;
- and
- a management step of managing the type, which has been identified in said identifying step, as a type of a prohibited sheet prohibited from being discharged to the post-processing apparatus.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a control method for a printing apparatus, the control method comprising:
- a printing step of performing printing;
- a sheet-discharging step of discharging a sheet, on which the printing has been performed, to a post-processing apparatus;
- an identifying step of, upon receiving an error notification from the post-processing apparatus, identifying a type of the sheet discharged to the post-processing apparatus in the sheet-discharging step;
- and
- a management step of managing the type, which has been identified in the identifying step, as a type of a prohibited sheet prohibited from being discharged to the post-processing apparatus.
