Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a processor. The processor is configured to stop a print job under execution in response to an occurrence of an abnormality preventing the print job from continuing, set the stopped print job to a skip state, and restart the print job set to the skip state in response to a restart instruction by a user associated with the print job and not by a second user different from the user associated with the print job.
Claims21
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- stop a print job under execution in response to an occurrence of an abnormality preventing the print job from continuing;
- set the stopped print job to a skip state;
- and
- restart the print job set to the skip state in response to a restart instruction by a user associated with the print job and not by a second user different than the user associated with the print job.
A control method for operating an image forming apparatus, the method comprising:
- stopping a print job under execution in response to an occurrence of abnormality preventing the print job from continuing to execute;
- setting the print job stopped to a skip state;
- and
- restarting the print job in the skip state in response to a restart instruction by a user associated with the print job, and not by a second user different than the user associated with the print job.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program, which when executed by a processor, causes the processor to execute operations comprising:
- stopping a print job under execution in response to an occurrence of abnormality preventing the print job from continuing to execute;
- setting the print job stopped to a skip state;
- and
- restarting the print job in the skip state in response to a restart instruction by a user associated with the print job, and not by a second user different than the user associated with the print job.
