  • Patent number: 11445069
    Abstract: Printing is performed based on a print job received from an information processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus is notified of a jam based on occurrence of the jam, and a reprint job for performing reprinting that is generated based on the notification of the jam is received from the information processing apparatus. A scanned image obtained by scanning a printed print product is transmitted to an inspection apparatus, and information indicating that an inspection result obtained by the inspection apparatus inspecting a quality of the print product is “fail” is received. Based on the reception of the information indicating the inspection result “fail”, the information processing apparatus is notified of a jam, and a reprint job for performing reprinting that is generated based on the notification of the jam is received from the information processing apparatus.

  • Patent number: 11360718
    Abstract: A sheet management system, in which a print control apparatus and an image forming apparatus are configured to communicate with each other, includes a selection unit, an adjustment unit, a confirmation unit, and a setting unit. The selection unit selects a sheet feeding deck. The adjustment unit adjusts sheet information including setting values for performing print processing on a sheet to be used for printing. The confirmation unit confirms. In a case where there is not a match between selected sheet information set for the sheet feeding deck and the sheet information to be adjusted, the confirmation unit confirms whether the sheet information to be adjusted by the adjustment unit is to be set for the selected sheet feeding deck. The setting unit sets the sheet information adjusted by the adjustment unit for the image forming apparatus in accordance with a result of confirmation by the confirmation unit.
