In a printing system, a terminal device generates a plurality of pieces of print job data based on a data format list and transmit the generated print job data to a first multifunction machine, the first multifunction machine stores a plurality of pieces of received print job data, and performs printing based on print job data having the data format supported by the first multifunction machine itself when the first multifunction machine itself receives a print instruction from a user, and the second multifunction machine receives print job data having the data format supported by the second multifunction machine itself from the first multifunction machine when the second multifunction machine itself receives a print instruction from a user and performs printing based on the received print job data.

An image forming apparatus includes an operation device, one or more memories, and one or more processors that execute a set of instructions to receive a print job from an information processing apparatus, store the received print job in the one or more memories, control the operation device to display a list of print jobs stored in the one or more memories, register a print job included in the list in the image forming apparatus, based on a user instruction received by the operation device, and display an execution button for executing the registered print job in a function selection screen.

An information processing apparatus capable of reducing the labor and time expended by a user for an instruction in reservation printing is provided. The information processing apparatus performs communication with a server for storing files and an image forming apparatus for printing files. The information processing apparatus includes a file obtaining unit configured to obtain files shown in a print candidate file list generated based on a priority setting indicating priorities of files stored in the server among a plurality of files stored in the server, and a transmission unit configured to transmit the obtained files to the image forming apparatus.

An example non-transitory machine-readable medium includes instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to receive a job to print multiple copies of a document, process a page of the document to obtain a processed page, initiate printing of the processed page at a printer, transmit via a network the processed page to network storage, and, when ready to print a subsequent copy of the page of the document, retrieve via the network the processed page from the network storage.

The printing device includes a printing unit, an interface, and a controller. In a case that a print job is received while electric power is being supplied to an external device from the interface, the controller determines whether a first condition or a second condition is met. The print job is for commanding the printing unit to execute printing. The second condition is different from the first condition. The controller executes printing based on the print job while limiting a level of the electric power being supplied to the external device from the interface in a case that the controller determines that the first condition is met. The controller holds the print job without limiting a level of the electric power supplied to the external device from the interface in a case that the controller determines that the second condition is met.

Provided is an image forming system that can utilize result of offset printing in digital printing. The image forming system is capable for hybrid printing that performs offset printing and digital printing. A ticket creation unit creates a job ticket that includes print processing settings for each page. A digital setting unit acquires processing change information including change information at the time of processing in the offset printing to the job ticket created by the ticket creation unit, and it generates digital print setting for the digital printing. Further, the digital printing apparatus functions as a digital printing unit that outputs for digital printing based on the digital print settings generated by the digital setting unit.

A printing system is provided including a printer server accessible over a first network at a first location and a cloud service accessible from both the first location and a second network at a second network. A user with a client computer moving between the first network and the second network can print using either the printer server, when the user is on the first network, or the cloud service, when the user is on the second network. The client computer is configured detect its location and receive configuration information from the cloud service. The configuration information changes the method used by the client computer to print depending upon the client computer's detected location.

A printing apparatus includes a receiving unit which receives print data, an operating unit which receives a print instruction from a user, a display unit which displays a password entry screen for receiving a password entry from a user, and a printing unit which receives a print instruction from a user through the operating unit and prints print data without accepting a password through a password entry screen if a password added to the print data is matched with a fixed password and print data to be printed if a print instruction from a user is received through the operating unit, if the password added to the print data is matched with the fixed password, and if the password received through a password entry screen is matched with the password added to the print data.

In a case where a job associated with a user has not been successfully stored in a job processing apparatus, it is not possible to exclusively notify the user that the job has not been successfully stored. A control method in a job processing apparatus includes storing a job such that the job is associated with a user, storing, identification information for identifying the user associated with a job that has not been successfully stored, and notifying the user that the job has not been stored according to login to the job processing apparatus, by the user, in a case where identification information for identifying the user having logged in to the job processing apparatus has been stored.

An image forming apparatus according to the present invention causes an image forming portion to perform image forming processing based on a security job issued by an output-permitted user, in a case where an outsider-use-possibility calculated by an outsider-use-possibility calculation portion becomes equal to or smaller than a predetermined threshold value on the basis of information of a movement trajectory of the output-permitted user and also the output-permitted user has been detected in an output-process-start area. Accordingly, it is possible to enhance the convenience for the output-permitted user while ensuring the security of the output product based on the security job issued by the user.
