An image forming system executes determination processing with an intensity of an image editing process being a first intensity and a determination threshold being a first value and does not execute the determination processing with the intensity of the image editing process being the first intensity and the determination threshold being a second value. The system executes the determination processing with the intensity of the image editing process being a second intensity greater than the first intensity and the determination threshold being the first value and does not execute the determination processing with the intensity of the image editing process being the second intensity and the determination threshold being the second value.

An information processing apparatus includes a first setting unit configured to set a layout pattern for a perforation process or a crease process on paper in response to selection by a user, a second setting unit configured to set the number of aggregated pages laid out on a print side of the paper in response to selection by the user, and a control unit configured to perform first processing to avoid selection of a predetermined number of aggregated pages in the second setting unit based on a first layout pattern selected in the first setting unit.

A printing system includes a media table on which a medium is placed, a printing mechanism configured to perform printing while moving relatively to the medium placed on the media table, and a control section configured to determine presence or absence of possibility of double printing in the same position of one medium and perform warning when the possibility is present.

A print system comprising a printing apparatus, an information processing apparatus operable to input a job to the printing apparatus and thereby cause the printing apparatus to print and an inspection apparatus operable to receive sheets printed and discharged by the printing apparatus and inspect the sheets. The inspection apparatus compares the respective received sheets and a corresponding reference image among reference images registered in a predetermined order, and thereby inspects images of the respective sheets. The printing apparatus skips printing of a blank page in a case that a blank paper saving function is designated, and in a case of an inspection mode, performs a warning if the blank paper saving function is designated.

In a case where the printing of a plurality of copies based on an original image is to be executed by causing a feeding stage which is set for each of the plurality of copies to perform feeding, a feed operation is controlled so as to stop feeding from a feeding stage which serves as a feed target when a sheet attribute designated in a job and a sheet attribute set in the feeding stage are different from each other.

An image processing apparatus includes a memory and processing circuitry. The memory sequentially stores a plurality of read images read by a reading device. The processing circuitry transfers pairs of read images from the memory to an external apparatus in ascending order of priority in bookbinding to leave pairs of read images in the memory in descending order of priority in bookbinding. The processing circuitry further instructs an image forming device to execute image formation with pairs of read images in descending order of priority in bookbinding.

A set of computer-readable instructions, when executed by a computer in an information processing device, causes the information processing device to perform: a setting process; and in response to receiving a print instruction in which a cut print setting is set: a generation process; and a transmission process. The setting process sets the cut print setting for printing an image on a sheet and dividing the printed sheet at a center position thereof. The generation process acquires image data representing a target image to generate processed image data representing a processed image in which a gap area is arranged within a range including the center position. No colorant is deposited in a region on a sheet corresponding to the gap area during the printer printing the processed image on the sheet. The transmission process transmits print data based on the processed image data and a cut command to the printer.

A method of controlling an information processing apparatus includes enabling one of a first setting and a second setting based on user operation. The first setting allows, in a case where content of at least one of a plurality of print setting items set to a predetermined folder is first content, and content corresponding to acquired information about an image forming apparatus and corresponding to the at least one print setting item is second content different from the first content, the image forming apparatus to perform printing based on the second content and based on the file in the predetermined folder.

A job processing apparatus that communicates with a control apparatus connected to a first network via a second network different from the first network and a first network interface, and communicates with an external apparatus on a third network via a second network interface includes at least one memory that stores a set of instructions, and at least one processor that executes the instructions, the instructions, when executed, causing the job processing apparatus to perform operations including acquiring information regarding the first network from the control apparatus and, based on the acquired information, setting, in a routing table, route information for transmitting data addressed to an external apparatus connected to the first network via the second network and the control apparatus.

An image forming system includes an image forming unit, a sheet folding unit, a sheet discharge tray, and a control unit. For the print job in which a first sheet bundle and a second sheet bundle are discharged onto the sheet discharge tray, the control unit is configured to selectively execute a first image forming mode or a second image forming mode. The first image forming mode is a mode in which a page order is controlled in such a manner that page numbers of sheets included in the second sheet bundle are larger than page numbers of sheets included in the first sheet bundle. The second image forming mode is a mode in which a page order is controlled in such a manner that page numbers of sheets included in the first sheet bundle are larger than page numbers of sheets included in the second sheet bundle.
