Abstract
When the printing operation of a printer is restricted during the execution of a print job including print data of a plurality of pages, an image processing apparatus of the invention executes a retreat mode for storing image data obtained by developing the print data of the subsequent pages in which the printing operation has been restricted into an image memory. When a status to be restricted is cancelled, the printing operation is restarted by using the image data retreated into the image memory.
Claims7
A print control apparatus having developing means for developing print data into image data which can be print-processed and printing means for printing an image represented by the image data developed by the developing means onto a paper, comprising:
- memory means for storing the image data;
- first determination means for determining whether a predetermined condition is satisfied for execution of a print job including print data of a plurality of pages;
- control means for controlling such that when said first determination means determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the image data obtained by developing the print data after the predetermined condition is satisfied is stored into said memory means;
- and
- second determination means for determining whether the image data which can be print-processed is stored in said memory means, when the predetermined condition is removed,
- wherein said control means controls, in response to a selection of at least one print job from a job list indicating the image data which can be print-processed, printing of the image data of the selected at least one print job in accordance with a determination result obtained by said second determination means.
A print control method of a print control apparatus having developing means for developing print data into image data which can be print-processed and printing means for printing an image represented by the image data developed by the developing means onto a paper, comprising the steps of:
- storing the image data in memory means;
- determining in a first determination step whether a predetermined condition is satisfied for execution of a print job including print data of a plurality of pages;
- controlling such that when said first determination step determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the image data obtained by developing the print data after the predetermined condition is satisfied is stored into the memory means;
- and
- determining in a second determination step whether the image data which can be print-processed is stored in the memory means, when the predetermined condition is removed,
- wherein said control step controls, in response to a selection of at least one print job from a job list indicating the image data which can be print-processed, printing of the image data of the selected at least one print job in accordance with a determination result obtained in said second determination step.
A computer-readable medium storing a computer program which is executed by a computer of a print control apparatus having developing means for developing print data into image data which can be print-processed and printing means for printing an image represented by the image data developed by the developing means onto a paper, comprising the steps of:
- storing the image data in memory means;
- determining in a first determination step whether a predetermined condition is satisfied for execution of a print job including print data of a plurality of pages;
- controlling such that when said first determination step determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the image data obtained by developing the print data after the predetermined condition is satisfied is stored into the memory means;
- and
- determining in a second determination step whether the image data which can be print-processed is stored in the memory means, when the predetermined condition is removed,
- wherein said control step controls, in response to a selection of at least one print job from a job list indicating the image data which can be print-processed, printing of the image data of the selected at least one print job in accordance with a determination result obtained in said second determination step.
