Abstract
A print control apparatus includes an acquisition unit and a setup execution unit. The acquisition unit acquires, from a portable terminal, setting of an apparatus condition of an image forming apparatus that performs printing on continuous paper and of a print start time at which the image forming apparatus starts the printing. The setup execution unit starts a setup process for the image forming apparatus such that the setup process is completed by the print start time on the basis of the setting of the apparatus condition acquired by the acquisition unit. The setup process is performed for the image forming apparatus to perform the printing.
Claims8
A print control apparatus comprising:
- a central processor configured to act as:
- an acquisition unit that acquires, from a portable terminal, setting of an apparatus condition of an image forming apparatus that performs printing on continuous paper and of a print start time at which the image forming apparatus starts the printing, the apparatus condition including information relating to a number of purge processes;
- and
- a setup execution unit that starts a setup process for the image forming apparatus such that the setup process is completed by the print start time on a basis of the setting of the apparatus condition acquired by the acquisition unit, the setup process being performed for the image forming apparatus to perform the printing.
A printing system comprising:
- an image forming apparatus that includes an image forming section that performs printing on continuous paper;
- a portable terminal that includes a reception unit that receives, from an operator, setting of an apparatus condition of the image forming apparatus and of a print start time for the image forming apparatus, the apparatus condition including information relating to a number of purge processes;
- and
- a print control apparatus that starts a setup process for the image forming apparatus such that the setup process is completed by the print start time on a basis of the setting of the apparatus condition received by the reception unit of the portable terminal, the setup process being performed for the image forming apparatus to perform the printing.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:
- acquiring, from a portable terminal, setting of an apparatus condition of an image forming apparatus that performs printing on continuous paper and of a print start time at which the image forming apparatus starts the printing, the apparatus condition including information relating to a number of purge processes;
- and
- starting a setup process for the image forming apparatus such that the setup process is completed by the print start time on a basis of the acquired setting of the apparatus condition, the setup process being performed for the image forming apparatus to perform the printing.
A print control apparatus comprising:
- a central processor configured to act as:
- an acquisition unit that acquires, from a portable terminal, setting of an apparatus condition of an image forming apparatus that performs printing on continuous paper and of a print start time at which the image forming apparatus starts the printing, the apparatus condition including relating to a winding tension for the continuous paper;
- and
- a setup execution unit that starts a setup process for the image forming apparatus such that the setup process is completed by the print start time on a basis of the setting of the apparatus condition acquired by the acquisition unit, the setup process being performed for the image forming apparatus to perform the printing.
