Abstract: A printing apparatus which enables to efficiently improve the productivity of the printed matter and to efficiently supply the resource. It is determined whether a printing interrupting factor occurs regarding a job for which a printing process is performed. When it is determined that the printing interrupting factor occurs regarding the job, a subsequent job following the job is controlled to be performed in priority to the job. When the job, regarding which, it is determined that the printing interrupting factor occurs, is the job related to image quality adjustment, the subsequent job is restricted to be performed in priority to the job regarding which, it is determined that the printing interrupting factor occurs.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus has an adjusting mode which enables determination of a magnification correction value. A predetermined image on a test chart placed on an original table or an image of a chart fixed outside the valid image area are read, and the proper correction value for compensating for any variation in the image magnitude within a scanning system is computed based on the results of reading the test chart image. Subsequently, a printing system is operated to print test chart data read from a memory and the image printed in accordance with the test chart data is read by the scanner system which has been corrected, the result of the reading being used in computing the magnification correction value for compensating for any magnification variation occurring in the printer system.
