The detection unit detects paper information which is set with respect to a print job. The display unit displays the paper information detected by the detection unit on a display device. The setting unit controls processing for displaying a setting screen used to allocate the paper information displayed on the display device to a paper feed stage of the image forming apparatus on a screen of the display device.

Abstract: A print control apparatus to communicate with a printing apparatus includes storage, display, setting, and selection units. The storage unit stores identification information of a plurality of sheets in association with stored adjustment values of a plurality of adjustment items. The display unit displays the stored identification information of the plurality of sheets. The setting unit sets, based on a user instruction, the adjustment values of the stored adjustment items. The selection unit selects, based on a user instruction, identification information of one sheet from among the identification information of the plurality of sheets displayed on the display unit. Based on a selection, the display unit displays, in addition to the displayed identification information of the plurality of sheets, at least one of the adjustment items of which set adjustment values are stored from among the adjustment values associated with the selected identification information of the one sheet.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a sheet feeding device having a plurality of sheet feeding units, an opening and closing controlling unit, and a receiving unit. The opening and closing controlling unit controls opening and closing of the sheet feeding unit. Where the receiving unit receives an instruction for assigning a sheet having selected one attribute to designated one sheet feeding unit, the opening and closing controlling unit opens the designated one sheet feeding unit.

Abstract: A sheet processing apparatus of an aspect of the present invention includes stack trays provided with alignment members for applying an alignment process to sheets. At the time of discharging sheets, in a case where a sheet is already stacked on a first stack tray that has been decided on as a discharge destination for a sheet to be discharged, the sheet processing apparatus determines whether or not the width of the sheet to be discharged matches the width of the already-stacked sheet. In a case where the widths of the sheets do not match, a discharge destination for the sheet to be discharged is changed to a second stack tray.

Abstract: It aims to solve a problem that in a printer including a mixture of sheet feeding devices for which points of view regarding the presence/absence of sheets are different, such as a deck-type sheet feeder and a manual feed tray, appropriate warning displays cannot be presented regarding the presence/absence of printing sheets in the respective sheet feeding devices, and thereby improve the operability of a printing system. In a printing system including an image forming apparatus and a print controller, the image forming apparatus has a deck-type first sheet feeder, a tray-type second sheet feeder, and a sheet quantity notification unit for the sheet feeders, and the print controller has a display unit. The print controller displays a warning when there are no remaining printing sheets in the first sheet feeder, and does not display a warning when there are no remaining printing sheets in the second sheet feeder.
