Abstract
During a printing operation an error is generated while receiving data from a processing apparatus. Even if different types of error are generated during processing of the received printing information, it is possible to provide a state of resuming reception of printing information from the data processing apparatus by executing error releasing processing corresponding to the type of the error.
Claims20
A printing control apparatus capable of communicating with a data processing apparatus via a predetermined communication medium, said printing control apparatus comprising:
- a detection unit for detecting an error for a printing job based on printing information received from the data processing apparatus;
- a time determination unit for determining whether a predetermined time period has elapsed since said detection unit detected the error;
- and
- a control unit for releasing a state of the detected error and cancelling the printing job when the predetermined time period has elapsed.
A printing control apparatus capable of communicating with a plurality of data processing apparatuses via a predetermined communication medium, said printing control apparatus comprising:
- detection means for detecting an error for a printing job base d on printing information received from one of the data processing apparatuses;
- determination means for determining a type of the error detected by said detection means;
- releasing means for executing error releasing processing based on the type of the error determined by said determination means;
- and
- control means for cancelling the printing job after the error releasing processing by said releasing means.
A method for controlling a printing control apparatus capable of communicating with a data processing apparatus via a predetermined communication medium, said method comprising the steps of:
- detecting an error for a printing job based on printing information received from the data processing apparatus;
- determining whether a predetermined time period has elapsed since the detection of the error in said detection step;
- and
- releasing a state of the detected error and cancelling the printing job when the predetermined time period has elapsed.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable program, the computer-executable program comprising instructions for controlling a printing control apparatus capable of communicating with a data processing apparatus via a predetermined communication medium, the instructions comprising the steps of:
- detecting an error for a printing job based on printing information received from the data processing apparatus;
- determining whether a predetermined time period has elapsed since the detection of the error in said detection step;
- and
- releasing a state of the detected error and cancelling the printing job when the predetermined time period has elapsed.
