Abstract: An image forming system capable of preserving appropriate density-gradation characteristics and color output characteristics. An image processing apparatus for executing second calibration is connected to an image forming apparatus for executing first calibration. When an instruction for executing the second calibration in succession to execution of the first calibration is received, the image processing apparatus transmits an inhibition command for inhibiting a print operation to the image forming apparatus, and shifts to an inhibition mode. The image processing apparatus transmits a cancel command for canceling inhibition of the print operation to the image forming apparatus. Even when an instruction for executing the job is received, the image processing apparatus does not transmit the job to the image forming apparatus during the inhibition mode.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus aims to prevent sheets in a sheet feeder which is designated for a print job by a user from being used for another print job other than the print job. The image forming apparatus, equipped with a plurality of sheet feeders, executes a submitted print job, prompts a user to select a sheet feeder for use in the print job from among the plurality of sheet feeders, and provides control such that the selected sheet feeder cannot be used for another print job other than the print job.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus, capable of being connected to an image processing apparatus including an image forming unit, includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a judgment result as to whether a colorimetric value obtained as a result of measuring a color of a chart image formed by the image forming unit satisfies a predetermined criterion in terms of a difference between the colorimetric value and a target value, a notification unit configured to notify the image processing apparatus that the judgment result acquired by the acquisition unit does not satisfy the criterion, and an instruction unit configured to, before the notification unit issues the notification to the image processing apparatus, instruct the image processing apparatus to execute an adjustment process.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a receiving unit that receives a print job, a determination unit that determines whether post-processing can be performed, and a control unit that, if the determination unit determines that post-processing cannot be performed, performs processing in accordance with setting information, extracted from the print job, on an operation for a case where the post-processing cannot be performed.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus having a printer for printing an image on a sheet fed from an external sheet feeding apparatus sets the sheet feeding apparatus as a sheet feed source of the sheet to be used by the printer for printing and in accordance with the setting, makes a notification so as to notice a user to set a feeding parameter in the sheet feeding apparatus.

Abstract: A sheet processing apparatus includes a sheet storage unit configured to enable itself to be opened and closed and a display unit configured to display a screen for setting an attribute of a sheet stored in the sheet storage unit. Whether or not to display the screen for setting the sheet attribute is determined based on a remaining number of sheets obtained before the sheet storage unit is opened and a remaining number of sheets obtained after the sheet storage unit is closed. The setting screen is displayed on the display unit based on a result of determination.

Abstract: A printing system includes a printing apparatus and a control apparatus. The printing apparatus obtains first attribute information about a sheet stored in a first sheet holding unit of the printing apparatus, and sends the information to the control apparatus. The control apparatus determines a combination of the first and second attribute information about the sheet and selects at least the first and a second sheet holding units. The control apparatus stores the combination in association with the selected first and second sheet holding units where a user instruction is accepted. The control apparatus obtains the second attribute information based on the received first attribute information, and sends the second attribute information to the printing apparatus. The printing apparatus sets the received second attribute information as attribute information about the sheet stored in the first sheet holding unit.

Abstract: On a job schedule screen that displays a type of sheet, information for identifying a sheet storage unit in which the number of sheets has become smaller than or equal to a certain value is displayed. An identifier, which is the information for identifying a sheet storage unit, is set by a user.
