Image input/output apparatus, image input/output method and image processing system

A system which includes a storage unit capable of storing plural job data, including first-type job data, output from a scanner unit, and second-type job data, output from an external apparatus, comprising:

• a designation unit, adapted to designate any of the plural job data, including the first-type job data and the second-type job data, stored in said storage unit;
• a print control unit, adapted to cause a printer unit to perform print processing by printing the job data stored in said storage unit and designated by said designation unit, according to a processing condition set for the designated job data;
• a disabling control unit, adapted to cause execution of a disabling processing on the designated job data stored in said storage unit;
• a storage control unit, adapted to cause said storage unit to store the designated job data even after the designated job data has been printed by the printer so that the print processing of the designated job data can be repeatedly executed by the printer from the execution of storage processing for storing the designated job data into said storage unit to the execution of the disabling processing on the designated job data;
• and
• a setting control unit, adapted to allow a setting of new processing conditions, without recourse to previous processing conditions for the designated job data, for the designated job data every time the print processing for the designated job data stored in said storage unit is executed by the printer, in both the case that the designated job data stored in said storage unit is the first-type job data, and the case that the designated job data stored in said storage unit is the second-type job data.

An apparatus which comprises a scanner unit, a storage unit capable of storing plural job data, including first-type job data, output from said scanner unit, and second-type job data, output from an external apparatus, and a printer unit, comprising:

• a designation unit, adapted to designate any of the plural job data, including the first-type job data and the second-type job data, stored in said storage unit;
• a print control unit, adapted to cause said printer unit to perform print processing by printing the job data stored in said storage unit and designated by said designation unit, according to a process condition set for the designated job data;
• a disabling control unit, adapted to cause execution of a disabling process on the designated job data stored in said storage unit;
• a storage control unit, adapted to cause said storage unit to store the designated job data, even after the designated job data has been printed by said printer unit, so that the print processing for the designated job data can be repeatedly executed by said printer unit from the execution of storage processing to store the designated job data into said storage unit to the execution of the disabling processing for the designated job data;
• and
• a setting control unit, adapted to allow a setting of new processing conditions, without recourse to previous processing conditions for the designated job data, for the designated job data every time the print processing for the designated job data stored in said storage unit is executed by said printer unit, in both the case that the designated job data stored in said storage unit is the first-type job data, and the case that the designated job data stored in said storage unit is the second-type job data.

A computer-readable storage medium, storing program code for causing a computer to perform a processing method for a job stored in a storage unit capable of storing plural job data, including first-type job data, output from a scanner unit, and second-type job data, output from an external apparatus, said method comprising:

• a designation step, of designating any of the plural job data, including the first-type job data and the second-type job data, stored in the storage unit;
• a print control step, of causing a printer unit to perform print processing by printing the job data stored in the storage unit and designated in said designation step, according to a process condition set for the designated job data;
• a disabling control step, of causing execution of a disabling processing for the designated job data stored in the storage unit;
• a storage control step, of causing the storage unit to store the designated job data even after the designated job data has been printed by the printer unit, so that the print processing for the designated job data can be repeatedly executed by the printer unit from the execution of storage processing to store the designated job data into the storage unit to the execution of the disabling processing for the designated job data;
• and
• a setting control step, of allowing a setting of new processing conditions, without recourse to previous precessing conditions for the designated job data, for the designated job data every time the print processing for the designated job data stored in the storage unit is executed by the printer unit, in both the case that the designated job data stored in the storage unit is the first-type job data and the case that the designated job data stored in the storage unit is the second-type job data.
