Abstract
When a plurality of units of the same data is stored for all jobs, the capacity of a hard disk may be greatly consumed. The present disclosure relates to a storage that stores data based on a job, and a controller configured to cause the storage to store the data and not to store data identical to the data, based on a job type of the job being a first type, and cause the storage to store the data and the data identical to the data, based on the job type of the job being a second type different from the first type.
Claims20
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a storage configured to store data based on a job;
- and
- a controller configured to cause the storage to store the data and not to store data identical to the data, based on a job type of the job being a first type, and cause the storage to store the data and the data identical to the data, based on the job type of the job being a second type different from the first type.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a storage configured to store data based on a job and data identical to the data;
- and
- a controller configured to, when the job is a job to be used for printing or e-mail transmission at an arbitrary timing, cause the storage to determine whether or not it is possible to read the data at a predetermined timing,
- when it is possible to read the data, cause the storage to delete the identical data, and
- when it is not possible to read the data, cause the storage to delete the data.
A control method of an image forming apparatus having a storage configured to store data based on a job, comprising:
- causing the storage to store the data and not to store data identical to the data, based on a job type of the job being a first type, and causing the storage to store the data and data identical to the data, based on the job type of the job being a second type different from the first type.
A control method of an image forming apparatus having a storage configured to store data based on a job and data identical to the data, comprising:
- causing, when the job is a job to be used for printing or e-mail transmission at an arbitrary tinting, the storage to determine whether or not it is possible to read the data at a predetermined timing;
- causing, when it is possible to read the data, the storage to delete the identical data;
- and
- causing, when it is not possible to read the data, the storage to delete the data.
