Abstract: A printing apparatus determines whether or not a print job includes an N-in-one printing setting and a setting of a function for designating a page position and executing with respect to the page position, and upon determining that the print job includes the N-in-one printing setting and the setting of the function, obtains a position after N-in-one printing for applying the function based on the number of aggregated pages and the page position. If the position can be specified based on a unit of sheet that an image after N-in-one printing is to be printed to, printing in accordance with the print job is executed, and if the obtained position cannot be specified based on the unit of sheet, printing of the print job by enabling only the N-in-one printing setting is performed.

Abstract: A sheet processing apparatus capable of creating fold sections suitable for an apparatus that performs saddle-stitch processing on fold sections. A sheet processing apparatus includes a printer engine configured to form an image on a recording sheet. The sheet processing apparatus sets a bookbinding lap which is a distance between a first sheet end and a second sheet end of the recording sheet assumed to have been folded in two. A finisher creates the fold section by forming a folding line on recording sheets according to a reference line which is shifted from the centerline of the recording sheet by the bookbinding lap.

Abstract: Attribute information representing the attributes of a printing medium is stored for each printing medium. Upon receiving a print job which designates the attributes of a printing medium, it is determined whether attribute information representing the attributes designated by the print job is stored. When it is determined that the attribute information is not stored, the attribute information representing the attributes designated by the print job is newly registered.

Abstract: A control apparatus includes storing, display, selection, receiving, determining, and control units. The storing unit stores attribute information about a sheet to be stored in each of a plurality of sheet holding units. The selection unit selects a job displayed by the display unit. The receiving unit receives an execution instruction for the selected job. The determining unit determines whether attribute information about a sheet to be used in the selected job corresponds to stored sheet attribute information. The control unit performs control in such a way as to prevent first attribute information, about a sheet to be used in a first job determined as being inconsistent, from being stored for a sheet holding unit in which second attribute information, about a sheet to be used in a second job selected at earlier timing by the selection unit than the first job, corresponds to the stored sheet attribute information.

Abstract: Sheet information of a sheet contained in each of a first sheet containing unit and a second sheet containing unit is stored in a storing step, the sheet information that is set for the first sheet containing unit and the second sheet containing unit is stored in a memory. It is determined based on the sheet information stored in the memory, whether a sheet to be used in a print job is contained in the first sheet containing unit and the second sheet containing unit. If it is determined not to be contained in the first sheet containing unit and the second sheet containing unit, a change of the sheet information stored in the memory is done. The sheet information stored in the storing step is changed using the changed sheet information in the memory.
