Abstract
An image forming apparatus which uses a printing control technique for, even when a third-party finisher whose performance is unknown is connected to the image forming apparatus, realizing a sheet-feeding judgment with consideration given to the performance of the finisher and preventing degradation of working efficiency. When an error notification is received from a post-processing apparatus, a type of a sheet discharged to the post-processing apparatus is identified. The identified type is managed as a type of a prohibited sheet prohibited from being discharged to the post-processing apparatus.
Claims6
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a printing unit configured to perform printing;
- a sheet-discharging unit configured to discharge a sheet, on which the printing has been performed, to a post-processing apparatus;
- a storing unit configured to store information on a prohibited sheet which is prohibited to be discharged to the post-processing apparatus;
- a receiving unit configured to receive an error notification from the post-processing apparatus;
- an identifying unit configured to identify, when the receiving unit has received the error notification from the post-processing apparatus, a type of a sheet, which has been discharged to the post-processing apparatus immediately before the receiving unit has received the error notification;
- and
- a display unit configured to display a confirmation screen for a user to confirm whether to register the sheet type identified by the identifying unit as a type of the prohibited sheet,
- wherein in a case where the user issues an instruction to register the sheet type identified by the identifying unit as a type of the prohibited sheet through the confirmation screen, the storing unit registers information on the sheet type identified by the identifying unit as the prohibited sheet.
A control method for a printing apparatus comprising:
- a printing step of performing printing;
- a sheet-discharging step of discharging a sheet, on which the printing has been performed, to a post-processing apparatus;
- a storing step of storing information on a prohibited sheet which is prohibited to be discharged to the post-processing apparatus;
- a receiving step of receiving an error notification from the post-processing apparatus;
- an identifying step of identifying, when the receiving step has received the error notification from the post-processing apparatus, a type of a sheet, which has been discharged to the post-processing apparatus immediately before the receiving step has received the error notification;
- and
- a display step of displaying a confirmation screen for a user to confirm whether to register the sheet type identified by the identifying step as a type of the prohibited sheet,
- wherein in a case where the user issues an instruction to register the sheet type identified by the identifying step as a type of the prohibited sheet through the confirmation screen, the storing step registers information on the sheet type identified by the identifying step as the prohibited sheet.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a control method for a printing apparatus, the control method comprising:
- a printing step of performing printing;
- a sheet-discharging step of discharging a sheet, on which the printing has been performed, to a post-processing apparatus;
- a storing step of storing information on a prohibited sheet which is prohibited to be discharged to the post-processing apparatus;
- a receiving step of receiving an error notification from the post-processing apparatus;
- an identifying step of identifying, when the receiving step has received the error notification from the post-processing apparatus, a type of a sheet, which has been discharged to the post-processing apparatus immediately before the receiving step has received the error notification;
- and
- a display step of displaying a confirmation screen for a user to confirm whether to register the sheet type identified by the identifying step as a type of the prohibited sheet,
- wherein in a case where the user issues an instruction to register the sheet type identified by the identifying step as a type of the prohibited sheet through the confirmation screen, the storing step registers information on the sheet type identified by the identifying step as the prohibited sheet.
