Print system, printing apparatus, method of controlling the printing apparatus, and storage medium

A printing apparatus comprising:

• a printer engine;
• and
• a controller including one or more processors and one or more memories, the controller being configured to:
• obtain, from a print job, image data to be used for printing;
• register in the inspection apparatus the image data as a reference image;
• in response to completion of registration of the reference image in the inspection apparatus, control the printer engine in accordance with the print job so as to cause the printer engine to execute printing on a sheet;
• and
• notify the inspection apparatus of an instruction for inspecting sheet on which printing has been performed by the printer engine.

A method of controlling a print system including a printing apparatus and an inspection apparatus, the method comprising:

• obtaining, for the printing apparatus, from a print job, image data to be used for printing;
• registering, for the printing apparatus, the image data in the inspection apparatus as a reference image;
• in response to completion of registration of the reference image in the inspection apparatus, executing, for the printing apparatus, printing in accordance with the print job;
• notifying, for the printing apparatus, the inspection apparatus of an instruction for inspecting a sheet on which printing has been performed;
• registering, for the inspection apparatus, the image data received from the printing apparatus as the reference image;
• notifying, for the inspection apparatus, the printing apparatus of the completion of the registration of the reference image;
• and
• in response to the instruction for inspecting, inspecting, for the inspection apparatus, a sheet on which printing has been performed in the printing apparatus.
