摘要:
A method for controlling a printing apparatus (313) includes printing, via a printing unit, an image on a sheet according to image data to generating one copy of printed product, conveying, among one set of a plurality of index sheets, a number of index sheets designated by a user, to add the designated number of sheets to the one copy of printed product generated by the printing unit, conveying, after conveying sheets corresponding to the one copy of printed product, remaining index sheets among the set of a plurality of index sheets to discharge the remaining index sheets, and conveying the index sheets to be added to the one copy of printed product at a first conveyance speed, and conveying the remaining index sheets at a second conveyance speed that is higher than the first conveyance speed.
摘要:
A method for controlling an image forming apparatus (100) configured to form an image by transferring an image generated based on input image data onto an intermediate transfer member (405) page by page and further transferring the image transferred onto the intermediate transfer member (405) onto a sheet includes transferring, after transferring an image of a first page onto the intermediate transfer member (405) based on the input image data, an image of a second page, which follows the first page, onto the intermediate transfer member (405) side by side with the image of the first page, which has been transferred onto the intermediate transfer member (405), determining whether the image of the second page can be transferred side by side with the image of the first page during a time period in which the intermediate transfer member (405) having the transferred image of the first page is rotated to a transfer position for the image of the second page, controlling, if a result of the determination is negative and predetermined information has been received, the image of the second page to be transferred side by side with the image of the first page after rotating the intermediate transfer member (405) at least one revolution after transferring the image of the first page onto the intermediate transfer member (405); and controlling, if the result of the determination is negative and the predetermined information has not been received, the transferred image of the first page to be transferred onto the sheet, without transferring the image of the second page side by side with the transferred image of the first page, after transferring the image of the first page onto the intermediate transfer member (405).
