Abstract
A printing apparatus configured to perform printing by using a recording material, includes a storing unit configured to store a recording material, a moving unit configured to move the storing unit determined to have run out of a recording material to a position where a recording material is supplied to the printing apparatus, and a setting unit configured to, according to an instruction from a user, set continued use of the storing unit determined to have run out of the recording material. The moving unit does not move the storing unit to the position even when the storing unit is determined to have run out of the recording material if continued use of the storing unit determined to have run out of the recording material is set.
Claims17
A printing apparatus configured to perform printing by using a recording materiel, comprising:
- a storing unit configured to store recording material;
- a moving unit configured to move a storing unit determined to run low on or run out of a recording material to a position where a recording material is supplied to the printing apparatus;
- and
- a setting unit configured to, according to an instruction from a user, set continued use of the storing unit determined to run low on or run out of the recording material,
- wherein the moving unit does not move the storing unit to the position even when the storing unit is determined to run low or run out of the recording material if continued use of the storing unit determined to run low on or run out of the recording material is set.
A control method for controlling a printing apparatus that performs printing by using a recording material stored in a storing unit, comprising:
- moving the storing unit determined to run low on or run out of the recording material to a position where a recording material is supplied to the printing apparatus;
- and
- setting, according to an instruction from a user, continued use of the storing unit determined to run low on or run out of the recording material,
- wherein the storing unit is not moved to the position even when the storing unit is determined to run low on or run out of the recording material if continued use of the storing unit determined to run low or run out of the recording material is set.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions causing a computer of a printing apparatus that includes a storing unit configured to store a recording material and performs printing by using the recording material, to execute a method, the method comprising:
- moving a storing unit determined to run low on or run out of the recording material to a position where a recording material is supplied to the printing apparatus;
- and
- setting, according to an instruction from a user, continued use of the storing unit determined to run low on or run out of the recording material,
- wherein the storing unit is not moved to the position even when the storing unit is determined to run low or run out of the recording material, if continued use of the storing unit determined to run low on or run out of the recording material is set.
