Abstract
A printing apparatus determines whether to execute reservation printing with respect to a print job according to a print job type or a protocol used to transfer the print job. Accordingly, even when the printing apparatus receives a print job that is not designated for the reservation printing, the printing apparatus can perform reservation printing or printing without reserving the print job depending on the print job.
Claims9
A printing apparatus capable of executing reservation printing in which a print job is received and printing is performed based on the print job after a print instruction of the print job is input, the printing apparatus comprising:
- a receiving unit configured to receive a print job from an external device;
- a printing unit configured to execute printing based on the print job received by the receiving unit;
- a first determination unit configured to determine a protocol used to transfer the print job received by the receiving unit;
- an instruction unit configured to input a print instruction of a print job after the receiving unit receives the print job;
- and
- a control unit configured, if a first print job received by the receiving unit is a print job that is not designated for the reservation printing and the first determination unit determines that a protocol used to transfer the first print job is a first protocol, to control the printing unit to execute printing based on the first print job after the instruction unit inputs a print instruction of the first print job, and configured, if a second print job received by the receiving unit is a print job that is not designated for the reservation printing and the first determination unit determines that a protocol used for transfer the second print job is a second protocol, to control the printing unit to execute printing based on the second print job without waiting for an input of a print instruction of the second print job from the instruction unit.
A printing control method for executing reservation printing in which a print job is received and printing is performed based on the print job after a print instruction of the print job is input, the printing control method comprising:
- receiving a print job from an external device;
- determining a protocol used to transfer the received print job;
- executing printing based on a first print job after a print instruction of the first print job is input if the received first print job is a print job that is not designated for the reservation printing and the protocol used to transfer the first print job is determined to be a first protocol;
- and
- executing printing based on a second print job without waiting for an input of a print instruction of the second print job if the received second print job is a print job that is not designated for the reservation printing and the protocol used to transfer the second print job is determined to be a second protocol.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for executing reservation printing in which a print job is received and printing is performed based on the print job after a print instruction of the print job is input, the program causing a computer to perform operations comprising:
- determining a protocol used to transfer a print job received from an external device;
- executing printing based on a first print job after a print instruction of the first print job is input if the received first print job is a print job that is not designated for the reservation printing and the protocol used to transfer the first print job is determined to be a first protocol;
- and
- executing printing based on a second print job without waiting for an input of a print instruction of the second print job if the received second print job is a print job that is not designated for the reservation printing and the protocol used to transfer the second print job is determined to be a second protocol.
