Abstract
Print control apparatus has a holding unit that hold plural pieces of received print information. If an error during a printing process for one of the plural pieces of print information is detected, it is determined whether the detected error is of a first type or a second type. The printing process of the plural pieces of print information is controlled such that the printing process of any of the plural pieces of print information is interrupted if the detected error is of the first type. If the detected error is of the second type, the printing process is interrupted for the one piece of print information but is continued for another of the plural pieces of print information.
Claims18
A print control apparatus comprising:
- holding means for holding a plurality of pieces of print information;
- detection means for detecting an error during a printing process of one of the plurality of pieces of print information, and for, when the error is detected, determining whether the detected error is of a first type or of a second type;
- and
- control means for controlling a printing process of the plurality of pieces of print information such that the printing process is interrupted for any of the plurality of pieces of print information if said detection means determines that the detected error is of the first type, and such that the printing process is interrupted for the one piece of print information but continued for another of the plurality of pieces of print information if said detection means determines that the detected error is of the second type.
A print control method for use in a print control apparatus including holding means for holding a plurality of pieces of print information, said print control method comprising the steps of:
- detecting an error during a printing process of one of the plurality of pieces of print information, and for, when the error is detected, determining whether the detected error is of a first type or of a second type;
- and
- controlling a printing process of the plurality of pieces of print information such that the printing process is interrupted for any of the plurality of pieces of print information if said detecting step determines that the detected error is of the first type, and such that the printing process is interrupted for the one piece of print information but continued for another of the plurality of pieces of print information if said detecting step determines that the detected error is of the second type.
A memory medium for use in a print control apparatus including holding means for holding a plurality of pieces of print information, said memory medium storing a program comprising the processes of:
- a detecting process to detect an error during a printing process of one of the plurality of pieces of print information, and for, when the error is detected, determining whether the detected error is of a first type or of a second type;
- and
- a control process for controlling a printing process of the plurality of pieces of print information such that the printing process is interrupted for any of the plurality of pieces of print information if said detecting process determines that the detected error is of the first type, and such that the printing process is interrupted for the one piece of print information but continued for another of the plurality of pieces of print information if said detecting process determines that the detected error is of the second type.
