摘要:
A method of controlling medium feeding in an image forming apparatus includes an image forming step of forming an image on a medium in response to an image forming request, and a feed control step of selecting one of a plurality of first medium feed units that feeds a medium corresponding to attribute information that matches medium attribute information included in the image forming request, and of selecting a second medium feed unit upon finding matching between attribute information indicative of a medium fed by the second medium feed unit and the medium attribute information included in the image forming request if none of the first medium feed units feeds a medium corresponding to the attribute information that matches the medium attribute information included in the image forming request.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus capable of both normal printing and special-purpose printing includes a first identification unit, a second identification unit, and a selection unit. The first identification unit identifies a type of print data. The second identification unit identifies a type of print material. The selection unit selects a print resource in accordance with a combination of the type of print data identified by the first identification unit and the type of print material identified by the second identification unit. The selection unit selects the print resource so as to prevent unauthorized printing from being performed when the print data is for special-purpose printing.

摘要:
In an image forming device including a control unit to control the image forming device to perform a job of image formation, the control unit is arranged so that, when a size of a printing medium detected by a detection unit is not in agreement with a printing medium size indicated by information contained in a printing request, the control unit causes the printing medium to be ejected from the image forming device without causing an image formation unit to form an image on the printing medium, and causes an image holding unit to hold data of the image.

An image forming apparatus for forming images by outputting plural image data in an order corresponding to an input order of plural input data is disclosed. The image forming apparatus includes a data receiving part for receiving the input data, a priority determining part for determining priority of outputting the input data, a PDL process part having plural PDL interpretation parts including at least first and second PDL interpretation parts for performing a PDL process on the input data, and a PDL control part for controlling each of the plural PDL interpretation parts, wherein when a subsequent input data is determined to have a priority higher than that of a prior input data in a case where the first PDL interpretation part is performing a first PDL process on the prior input data, the PDL control part is configured to stop the first PDL process and cause the second PDL interpretation part to perform a second PDL process on the subsequent input data.
摘要:
A printing apparatus receives a plurality of print jobs containing print data from a host computer connected thereto through a network. The printing apparatus temporarily stores the print job in a storage unit to print the print data. The printing apparatus receives a request to pause or restart printing of a print job, and controls execution of the print job in response to the request. Upon receiving a request to restart a print job being paused, the printing apparatus determines a printing order according to a predetermined condition to print the print job.

摘要:
Image processing apparatus and method to perform an image processing job based on a received processing request, which includes a processing condition set by a user. Error protection is performed to detect a job setting error caused by a mismatching between the processing condition of the image processing job and a processing capability of the image processing apparatus. Error information relates to a previously detected air that is the job setting error previously detected. Error report conditions indicate whether the previously detected air has a same condition as the processing condition of the image processing job. Error information is managed to store information relating to the currently detected error when the currently detected error satisfies an error storage condition, determine whether the currently detected satisfies the error report condition and generate an error report to notify the user and an administrator when these conditions are satisfied.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus, including a plurality of applications each including a reception unit configured to receive print data, a determination unit configured to analyze the print data received by the reception unit to determine the data format thereof, and a print control unit configured to print an image of print data having a specific data format. The print data analyzed by the determination unit is sent to the print control unit when the data format is determined to be equivalent to the specific data format, or another reception unit when the data format is determined to be different from the specific data format.
