In a printing system capable of supplying a sheet of a job having undergone print processing by the printing unit of a printing apparatus to a post-processing unit capable of executing at least a specific type of post-processing among a plurality of types of post-processes, when the target job requires the specific type of post-processing, the printing apparatus is inhibited from executing print processing of the job without explicitly determining a sheet necessary for the print processing of the job by a user using a user interface unit. When the target job does not require the specific type of post-processing, the printing apparatus is permitted to execute print processing of the job without explicitly determining a sheet necessary for the print processing of the job by the user using the user interface unit.

A printing system includes a printing apparatus that prints an image on a sheet, a sheet processer that executes sheet processing, and a sheet detection sensor that detects a sheet on which the sheet processing is performed not in association with the printing of an image, where the printing of an image is restricted in response to detection of a sheet by the sheet detection sensor.

A printer including a motor for transporting an object to be transported, the printer includes: a memory storing a machine-learned model configured to output a control parameter of the motor that brings a transport position of the object to be transported close to a reference based on one or more state variables including at least one of a speed of the object to be transported, an acceleration of the object to be transported, a movement amount of the object to be transported, a start position of movement of the object to be transported, an ambient environment of the printer, a value of a current flowing through the motor, a type of a print medium onto which printing is to be performed by the printer, and an accumulated movement amount of the object to be transported; and a controller configured to control the motor to perform printing by using the control parameter obtained based on the machine-learned model.

Job information being information concerning a processed job is managed together with an attribute that indicates whether the job information is printed or unprinted. Out of the managed pieces of job information of jobs, job information having an attribute indicating unprinted state is printed and the attribute of the printed job information is updated so as to indicate printed state. Out of the managed pieces of job information of jobs, when an instruction to print job information of a job corresponding to a logged-in user is received, the job information corresponding to the user is printed and the attribute of the printed job information is not updated.

A system is provided for processing documents. In particular, the system incorporates a feeder for feeding documents to a device for further processing of the documents. For instance, the system finds particular application in the field of document imaging in which a variety of documents of varying sizes and orientation are to be fed to an imaging system, such as a document scanner. The system may provide a sorting station that receives documents from a workstation and sorts the documents to a plurality of sort locations. The system may export the image data for the documents to a fileserver so that a remote operator can provide instructions for the processing of the documents so that the documents can be subsequently processed according to the instructions provided by the operator.

In a printing system capable of supplying a sheet of a job having undergone print processing by the printing unit of a printing apparatus to a post-processing unit capable of executing at least a specific type of post-processing among a plurality of types of post-processes, when the target job requires the specific type of post-processing, the printing apparatus is inhibited from executing print processing of the job without explicitly determining a sheet necessary for the print processing of the job by a user using a user interface unit. When the target job does not require the specific type of post-processing, the printing apparatus is permitted to execute print processing of the job without explicitly determining a sheet necessary for the print processing of the job by the user using the user interface unit.

Job information being information concerning a processed job is managed together with an attribute that indicates whether the job information is printed or unprinted. Out of the managed pieces of job information of jobs, job information having an attribute indicating unprinted state is printed and the attribute of the printed job information is updated so as to indicate printed state. Out of the managed pieces of job information of jobs, when an instruction to print job information of a job corresponding to a logged-in user is received, the job information corresponding to the user is printed and the attribute of the printed job information is not updated.

An image forming apparatus improved in a setting process for a recording medium to thereby make it possible to prevent print processing from failing to be executed. In the image forming apparatus including a plurality of sheet feeders for storing recording sheets, when recording sheets are stored in one of the sheet feeders, at least one of the recording sheets is conveyed from the corresponding sheet feeder, and the type of the conveyed recording sheet is identified. Then, the identified type of the recording sheet is set as the type of the stored recording sheets. This makes it possible to prevent occurrence of a situation in which print processing is not executed because the identified type of the recording sheet does not match the set type of the recording sheets, whereby it is possible to prevent print processing from failing to be executed.

Provided is a sheet processing apparatus which enables processing of a sheet without a decrease in processing efficiency even when the phenomenon that the information cannot be read from the header card arises. The sheet processing apparatus is a sheet processing apparatus that successively processes a plurality of processing-target sheets forming a sheet group, the sheet group including at least one sheet set, the at least one sheet set including a first sheet that is given first recognition information and a second sheet, the sheet processing apparatus includes a recognition unit that reads the first recognition information from one of the plurality of processing-target sheets and a controller that generates second recognition information associated with the one of the plurality of processing-target sheets when the recognition unit fails to read the first recognition information from the one of the plurality of processing-target sheets and a predetermined condition is satisfied.

An image processing apparatus which reads an image of a document and prints the read image on a sheet includes a detecting unit, an obtaining unit, and a controller. The detecting unit detects a size of the document. The obtaining unit obtains a size of the sheet. The controller performs control such that, in a case where the size of the sheet obtained by the obtaining unit is not a predetermined size, an image in a reading region based on the size of the document detected by the detecting unit is read, and in a case where the size of the sheet obtained by the obtaining unit is the predetermined size, an image in a reading region based on the size of the sheet is read.
