Abstract
An image forming system including an image forming apparatus that discharges a recording medium on which an image has been formed. The system selects, from among a plurality of stacking units that are operable to stack a recording medium discharged from the image forming apparatus, and in a case where a recording medium generated in the job is a long recording medium that has a larger length than a standard-sized recording medium in a conveyance direction, determines whether the selected stacking unit is a stacking unit suitable for stacking the long recording medium, and issues a warning if it has been determined that the selected stacking unit is not a stacking unit suitable for stacking the long recording medium.
Claims22
An image forming system including an image forming apparatus that discharges a recording medium on which an image has been formed, the image forming system comprising
- one or more controllers including one or more processors and one or more memories, the one or more controllers configured to:
- select, from among a plurality of stacking units that are operable to stack a recording medium discharged from the image forming apparatus thereon, a stacking unit on which a recording medium discharged from the image forming apparatus as a result of execution of a job is to be stacked;
- in a case where a recording medium generated in the job is a long recording medium that has a larger length than a standard-sized recording medium in a conveyance direction, determine whether the selected stacking unit is a stacking unit suitable for stacking the long recording medium;
- and
- issue a warning if it has been determined that the selected stacking unit is not a stacking unit suitable for stacking the long recording medium.
An information processing apparatus, comprising
- one or more controllers including one or more processors and one or more memories, the one or more controllers configured to:
- select a stacking unit on which a recording medium discharged from an image forming apparatus in which a job is to be executed is to be stacked, from among a plurality of stacking units that are operable to stack a recording medium discharged from the image forming apparatus after an image has been formed thereon;
- in a case where a recording medium generated in the job is a long recording medium that has a larger length than a standard-sized recording medium in a conveyance direction, determine whether the selected stacking unit is a stacking unit suitable for stacking the long recording medium;
- and
- issue a warning if it has been determined that the selected stacking unit is not a stacking unit suitable for stacking the long recording medium.
