Printing system, control method, and storage medium

Abstract

A sheet processing apparatus determines whether binding processing is manual binding. If it is determined that the binding processing is the manual binding, staple less binding is performed at a first binding position. If it is determined that the binding processing is not the manual binding, staple less binding is performed at a second binding position different from the first binding position.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A printing system comprising:
 a printing unit configured to print an image on sheets;   a staple less binding unit configured to perform binding processing for a sheet bundle without using staples; and   a control unit configured to perform control to make a binding position differ depending on whether the staple less binding unit performs binding processing for a sheet bundle including sheets on which the image is to be printed by the printing unit or the staple less binding unit performs binding processing for a sheet bundle including sheets on which the image is not to be printed by the printing unit.   
     
     
         2 . The printing system according to  claim 1 , wherein the sheet bundle including the sheets on which the image is not to be printed by the printing unit is manually inserted from a discharge unit configured to discharge the sheet on which the image is printed by the printing unit. 
     
     
         3 . The printing system according to  claim 1 , wherein the sheet bundle including the sheets on which the image is not to be printed by the printing unit is manually inserted via a slit provided in a housing of the printing system. 
     
     
         4 . The printing system according to  claim 1 , further comprising an adjustment unit configured to adjust a position of the staple less binding unit,
 wherein the control unit controls the adjustment unit to adjust the position of the staple less binding unit to make the binding position differ.   
     
     
         5 . The printing system according to  claim 1 , further comprising an adjustment unit configured to adjust a position of an abutment plate which is provided in a stacking unit on which the sheet bundle to be subjected to binding processing is stacked and on which an edge of the sheet bundle abuts,
 wherein the control unit controls the adjustment unit to adjust the position of the abutment plate to make the binding position differ.   
     
     
         6 . The printing system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a reception unit configured to receive an instruction to set whether the binding position is made to differ depending on whether the staple less binding unit performs binding processing for the sheet bundle including the sheets on which the image is to be printed by the printing unit or the staple less binding unit performs binding processing for the sheet bundle including the sheets on which the image is not to be printed by the printing unit,
 wherein the control unit performs control not to make the binding position differ depending on whether the staple less binding unit performs binding processing for the sheet bundle including the sheets on which the image is to be printed by the printing unit or the staple less binding unit performs binding processing for the sheet bundle including the sheets on which the image is to be printed by the printing unit in a case where the reception unit does not performs setting to make the binding position differ.   
     
     
         7 . The printing system according to  claim 6 , wherein the reception unit further receives an instruction to perform binding processing by the staple less binding unit for the sheet bundle including the sheets on which the image is not to be printed by the printing unit. 
     
     
         8 . The printing system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a staple binding unit configured to perform binding processing for the sheet bundle using staples,
 wherein the control unit performs control not to make the binding position differ depending on whether the staple binding unit performs binding processing for the sheet bundle including the sheets on which the image is to be printed by the printing unit or the staple binding unit performs binding processing for the sheet bundle including the sheets on which the image is not to be printed by the printing unit in a case where the staple binding unit performs binding processing.   
     
     
         9 . The printing system according to  claim 1 , wherein the staple less binding unit performs binding processing for binding the sheet bundle by sandwiching the sheet bundle between upper teeth and lower teeth that mesh with each other to crimping the sheet bundle under pressure. 
     
     
         10 . The printing system according to  claim 1 , wherein the staple less binding unit performs binding processing for binding the sheet bundle including the sheets on which the image is to be printed by the printing unit by forming a tongue-shaped piece and a notch hole in a part of the sheet bundle and inserting the tongue-shaped piece into the notch hole. 
     
     
         11 . The printing system according to  claim 1 , further comprising an inquiry unit configured to inquire of a user about a state of the sheet bundle,
 wherein the control unit determines whether the binding position is made to differ in a case where the staple less binding unit performs binding processing for the sheet bundle including the sheets on which the image is not to be printed by the printing unit, from that in a case where the staple less binding unit performs binding processing for the sheet bundle including the sheets on which the image is printed by the printing unit in response to a user input corresponding to the inquiry by the inquiry unit.   
     
     
         12 . The printing system according to  claim 11 , wherein the control unit determines that the binding position is made to differ in a case where a user input indicating that the sheet bundle has been subjected to binding processing is received in response to the inquiry by the inquiring unit and the binding position is not made to differ in a case where a user input indicating that the sheet bundle has not been subjected to binding processing is received in response to the inquiry by the inquiry unit. 
     
     
         13 . A printing method comprising:
 printing an image on sheets;   performing binding processing for a sheet bundle without using staples; and   performing control to make a binding position differ depending on whether, in the perform binding processing, to perform binding processing for a sheet bundle including sheets on which the image is to be printed in the printing or to perform binding processing for a sheet bundle including sheets on which the image is not to be printed in the printing.   
     
     
         14 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute:
 printing an image on sheets;   performing binding processing for a sheet bundle without using staples; and   performing control to make a binding position differ depending on whether, in the perform binding processing, to perform binding processing for a sheet bundle including sheets on which the image is to be printed in the printing or to perform binding processing for a sheet bundle including sheets on which the image is not to be printed in the printing.
