Printing system, job processing method, and storage medium

Abstract

A printing system includes a receive controller that enables by using a user interface unit an input of an instruction during performing of first print processing with a print apparatus, and an operation controller that enables the print apparatus to perform check processing before completion of the first print processing in the case where the instruction is input, the check processing being second print processing by using print data which is used in the first print processing, the operation controller enabling the print apparatus to continue the first print processing after the second print processing.

1 . A printing system comprising:
 a receive controller that enables by using a user interface unit an input of an instruction during performing of first print processing with a print apparatus; and   an operation controller that enables the print apparatus to perform check processing before completion of the first print processing in the case where the instruction is input, the check processing being second print processing by using print data which is used in the first print processing, the operation controller enabling the print apparatus to continue the first print processing after the second print processing.   
     
     
         2 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein a page printed in the second print processing is automatically decided on the basis of timing when the instruction is input. 
     
     
         3 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the instruction can be input repetitively during a period from start to end of the first print processing. 
     
     
         4 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein a second sheet printed in the second print processing is output to a destination different from a destination of first sheets printed in the first print processing. 
     
     
         5 . The system according to  claim 4 , wherein the first sheets are output to a destination inside a post-processing apparatus, and the second sheet is output to a destination outside the post-processing apparatus. 
     
     
         6 . The system according to  claim 4 , wherein the first sheets are output to a destination of a second post-processing apparatus via a first post-processing apparatus, and the second sheet is output to a destination of the first post-processing apparatus. 
     
     
         7 . The system according to  claim 4 , wherein a notification unit outputs notification information which enables an operator to identify the destination of the second sheet. 
     
     
         8 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the operation controller enables the print apparatus to continue the first print processing without inputting a request by using the user interface unit after the second print processing. 
     
     
         9 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the operation controller enables the print apparatus to continue the first print processing after a request is input by using the user interface unit after the second print processing. 
     
     
         10 . The system according to  claim 9 , wherein the operation controller enables the print apparatus to perform another print processing different from the first print processing before the request is input by using the user interface unit. 
     
     
         11 . The system according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a selector that selects one of a first mode and a second mode before the check processing, the first mode for causing the print apparatus to continue the first print processing without inputting a request by using the user interface unit after the second print processing, the second mode for causing the print apparatus to continue the first print processing after the request is input by using the user interface unit after the second print processing.   
     
     
         12 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the receive controller enables by using the user interface unit an input of another instruction different from the instruction before the first print processing, the operation controller causing the print apparatus to perform another processing different from the check processing in the case where the another instruction is input, the another processing being utilized in changing a printing condition before start of the first print processing, the check processing being utilized in changing a printing condition after start of the first print processing. 
     
     
         13 . The system according to  claim 12 , wherein a second sheet printed in the second print processing is output to a destination different from a destination of first sheets printed in the first print processing, and sheets printed in the another processing are output to the same destination as the destination of the first sheets. 
     
     
         14 . The system according to  claim 12 , wherein the another processing is utilized in changing a printing condition relating to a print job, and the check processing is utilized in changing a printing condition relating to a plurality of print jobs. 
     
     
         15 . The system according to  claim 12 , wherein the instruction and the another instruction can be input for one job. 
     
     
         16 . A job processing method comprising the steps of:
 enabling by using a user interface unit an input of an instruction during performing of first print processing with a print apparatus;   enabling the print apparatus to perform check processing before completion of the first print processing in the case where the instruction is input, the check processing being second print processing by using print data which is used in the first print processing; and   enabling the print apparatus to continue the first print processing after the second print processing.   
     
     
         17 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to execute a job processing method defined in  claim 16 .
