  • Publication number: 20240126485
    Abstract: A controlling apparatus includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire sheet information of each of a plurality of pages included in job data for executing print processing in a printing apparatus; a decision unit configured to decide a print speed in the print processing based on the sheet information acquired by the acquisition unit; and a control unit configured to control the printing apparatus based on the print speed decided by the decision unit and data generated from the job data and processible by the printing apparatus. Even in a case where sheet types represented by the pieces of sheet information are mixed in the plurality of pages, the decision unit decides a print speed to be commonly applied to the sheet types of the plurality of pages.

  • Publication number: 20240045627
    Abstract: A printing apparatus operable to perform printing based on print job data, the printing apparatus comprising a determination unit configured to determine a print speed for when the printing is performed, a switching unit configured to switch print speeds during the printing, and an analysis unit configured to analyze the print job data, wherein the analysis unit analyzes whether sheets that are print targets according to the print job data include a plurality of sheet types, and wherein the switching unit switches print speeds during the printing based on a productivity of printing for each sheet type when printing is performed for the sheets and a productivity of printing for a case where print speeds are switched by the switching unit.

  • Publication number: 20240012589
    Abstract: A control apparatus includes: an acquisition unit configured to analyze a job used to execute print processing and acquire sheet information of a page included in the job; and a control unit configured to decide a print speed in the print processing based on a result acquired by the acquisition unit and execute the print processing using the decided print speed. The control unit causes the acquisition unit to acquire the sheet information of each of a predetermined number of pages of a plurality of pages included in the job, accumulates the sheet information in a storage unit, decides the print speed based on the accumulated result, and executes the print processing using the decided print speed.

  • Patent number: 11675548
    Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a storage that stores a table that associates a type of a print medium with an output profile, a memory device that stores a set of instructions, and at least one processor that executes the set of instructions to determine whether or not an output profile has been designated by a print job to be processed for a page included in the print job, perform color conversion for the page using the output profile designated by the print job without referring to the table and printing in a case where it is determined the output profile has been designated by the print job, and referring to the table, perform color conversion for the page using the output profile associated with a type of a print medium and printing in a case where it is determined the output profile has not been designated by the print job.

  • Publication number: 20220171582
    Abstract: A printing apparatus is provided. The printing apparatus comprises a storage that stores a table that associates a type of a print medium with an output profile; and a processor that performs, for each page included in a print job, color conversion using an output profile for a page for which an output profile is set in the print job, and performing color conversion using an output profile associated with the type of the print medium set for the page by referring to the table for a page for which an output profile is not set in the print job, and for executing printing.
