Abstract
A printing apparatus sets, as time for performing pre-processing before performing print processing, first time if the printing rate calculated by the calculation unit is smaller than a predetermined value, and second time that is longer than the first time if the printing rate calculated by the calculation unit is larger than the predetermined value.
Claims5
A printing apparatus that performs, before forming an image on a sheet, pre-rotation processing including at least heating of a fixing unit, the printing apparatus comprising:
- a controller;
- and
- a printer engine, wherein the printer engine comprises:
- a receiving unit configured to receive a print instruction from the controller;
- a determining unit configured to determine whether or not it is necessary to reduce a performing time of the pre-rotation processing such that the performing time becomes shorter than a default time, based on information included in the received print instruction;
- and
- a processing unit configured to perform the pre-rotation processing for the default time in a case where the determining unit determines that it is unnecessary to reduce the performing time of the pre-rotation processing such that the performing time becomes shorter than the default time, and perform the pre-rotation processing for a time shorter than the default time in a case where the determining unit determines that it is necessary to reduce the performing time of the pre-rotation processing such that the performing time becomes shorter than the default time.
A method for controlling a printing apparatus that performs, before forming an image on a sheet, pre-rotation processing including at least heating of a fixing unit, the method comprising:
- receiving a print instruction;
- determining whether or not it is necessary to reduce a performing time of the pre-rotation processing such that the performing time becomes shorter than a default time, based on information included in the received print instruction;
- and
- performing the pre-rotation processing for the default time in a case where the determining unit determines that it is unnecessary to reduce the performing time of the pre-rotation processing such that the performing time becomes shorter than the default time, and perform the pre-rotation processing for a time shorter than the default time in a case where the determining unit determines that it is necessary to reduce the performing time of the pre-rotation processing such that the performing time becomes shorter than the default time.
A non-transitory storage medium for storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method of controlling a printing apparatus that performs, before forming an image on a sheet, pre-rotation processing including at least heating of a fixing unit, the method comprising:
- receiving a print instruction;
- determining whether or not it is necessary to reduce a performing time of the pre-rotation processing such that the performing time becomes shorter than a default time, based on information included in the received print instruction;
- and
- performing the pre-rotation processing for the default time in a case where the determining unit determines that it is unnecessary to reduce the performing time of the pre-rotation processing such that the performing time becomes shorter than the default time, and perform the pre-rotation processing for a time shorter than the default time in a case where the determining unit determines that it is necessary to reduce the performing time of the pre-rotation processing such that the performing time becomes shorter than the default time.
