Estimating the term…
A printing system capable of increasing the working efficiency of an operator engaged in a post-process necessary after printing can be provided. For this purpose, the user interface unit can execute a display which allows the operator to explicitly input, for each job, instruction information in consideration of a post-process necessary after a printing process in a job requiring a printing process by a printing apparatus in a printing system capable of stacking, on a stacking unit, printed materials having undergone the printing process. When the job to be processed is a job for which the operator inputs the instruction information via the display, printed materials of the job for which the operator inputs the instruction information are stacked on the stacking unit while the printed materials are classified every printed materials on the basis of the instruction information input by the operator for the job.
A printing apparatus comprising:
A control method being for application to a printing apparatus which comprises an input unit configured to input a print job, a printing unit configured to execute a print processing to output a plurality of sheets, based on the print job, a stacking unit configured to stack the plurality of copies of sheets, and a setting unit configured to set height of one group among a plurality of groups into which the plurality of copies of sheets are sorted, the method comprising the steps of:
A program stored in a computer-readable storage medium which causes a computer of a printing apparatus to perform or instruct the performing of a control method, wherein the printing apparatus comprises an input unit configured to input a print job, a printing unit configured to execute a print processing to output a plurality of copies of sheets, based on the print job, a stacking unit configured to stack the plurality of copies of sheets, and a setting unit configured to set height of one group among a plurality of groups into which the plurality of copies of sheets are sorted, and wherein the control method comprises the steps of:
