Abstract
A mobile terminal transmits a document file to a conversion server. In a case where it is determined that an image forming apparatus is capable of acquiring from the conversion server print data acquired by converting the document file, information for acquisition of the print data from the conversion server by the image forming apparatus is transmitted to the image forming apparatus. In a case where it is determined that the image forming apparatus is not capable of acquiring the print data from the conversion server, the print data is acquired from the conversion server and transmitted to the image forming apparatus.
Claims7
An information processing apparatus capable of communicating with an image forming apparatus and a conversion server via a network, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a transmission unit configured to transmit a document file to the conversion server;
- and
- a capability determination unit configured to determine whether the image forming apparatus is capable of acquiring, from the conversion server, print data acquired by converting the document file,
- wherein in a case where the capability determination unit determines that the image forming apparatus is capable of acquiring the print data from the conversion server, the transmission unit transmits, to the image forming apparatus, information for acquisition of the print data from the conversion server by the image forming apparatus, and
- wherein in a case where the capability determination unit determines that the image forming apparatus is not capable of acquiring the print data from the conversion server, the transmission unit transmits, to the image forming apparatus, the print data acquired from the conversion server.
A storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute:
- transmitting a document file to a conversion server;
- determining whether an image forming apparatus is capable of acquiring, from the conversion server, print data acquired by converting the document file;
- transmitting, to the image forming apparatus, information for acquisition of the print data from the conversion server by the image forming apparatus in a case where it is determined that the image forming apparatus is capable of acquiring the print data from the conversion server;
- acquiring the print data from the conversion server in a case where it is determined that the image forming apparatus is not capable of acquiring the print data from the conversion server;
- and
- transmitting, to the image forming apparatus, the acquired print data.
A method of controlling an apparatus configured to communicate with an image forming apparatus and a conversion server via a network, the method comprising:
- transmitting a document file to a conversion server;
- determining whether an image forming apparatus is capable of acquiring, from the conversion server, print data acquired by converting the document file;
- transmitting, to the image forming apparatus, information for acquisition of the print data from the conversion server by the image forming apparatus in a case where it is determined that the image forming apparatus is capable of acquiring the print data from the conversion server;
- acquiring the print data from the conversion server in a case where it is determined that the image forming apparatus is not capable of acquiring the print data from the conversion server;
- and
- transmitting, to the image forming apparatus, the acquired print data.
