Abstract: A printing system includes a printing apparatus that prints an image on a sheet, a sheet processer that executes sheet processing, and a sheet detection sensor that detects a sheet on which the sheet processing is performed not in association with the printing of an image, where the printing of an image is restricted in response to detection of a sheet by the sheet detection sensor.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes an image forming portion which forms a chart image on a sheet conveyed from a sheet feeding deck, a color measure portion which performs color measurement by reading the chart image formed by the image forming portion, and one or more controllers including one or more processors and one or more memories. The one or more controllers are configured to generate correction data based on color measurement results by the color measurer portion and a reference value, and perform correction for target image data by using the generated correction data. The reference value is obtained by performing color measurement by the color measure portion and is registered in association with a type of sheet on which the chart image is formed, and in a case where the type of sheet on which the chart image is formed is changed, the reference value is updated.

Abstract: A printing system is provided that does not produce a wasteful defective product by suppressing inconsistency in collated pages between a reference image and an inspection image. In a case where a read image obtained by reading an image on a sheet for which print processing has been performed based on a print job is a blank sheet image but a reference image registered in association with the print job is not a blank sheet image, a page of a reference image and a page of the read image are matched with each other by using a blank sheet image registered as a reference image not in association with the print job.

Abstract: A print system comprising a printing apparatus, an information processing apparatus operable to input a job to the printing apparatus and thereby cause the printing apparatus to print and an inspection apparatus operable to receive sheets printed and discharged by the printing apparatus and inspect the sheets. The inspection apparatus compares the respective received sheets and a corresponding reference image among reference images registered in a predetermined order, and thereby inspects images of the respective sheets. The printing apparatus skips printing of a blank page in a case that a blank paper saving function is designated, and in a case of an inspection mode, performs a warning if the blank paper saving function is designated.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes an image former which forms a tone pattern image on a sheet conveyed from a sheet feeding deck, a color measurer which performs color measurement by reading the tone pattern image formed by the image former, and one or more controllers including one or more processors and one or more memories. The one or more controllers are configured to generate tone correction data based on a difference between color measurement results by the color measurer and a reference value, and perform tone correction for print target image data by using the generated tone correction data. The reference value is registered in association with a type of sheet that is accommodated in the sheet feeding deck, and in a case where the type of sheet that is accommodated in the sheet feeding deck is changed, the reference value is cleared.

Abstract: A printing system is provided that does not produce a wasteful defective product by suppressing inconsistency in collated pages between a reference image and an inspection image. In a case where a read image obtained by reading an image on a sheet for which print processing has been performed based on a print job is a blank sheet image but a reference image registered in association with the print job is not a blank sheet image, a page of a reference image and a page of the read image are matched with each other by using a blank sheet image registered as a reference image not in association with the print job.

Abstract: A printing system includes an image formation apparatus, an information processing apparatus, and a terminal apparatus. The terminal apparatus includes a reception unit configured to receive conditions of capabilities required for an image formation apparatus to be registered on a virtual printer, and a first transmission unit configured to transmit the conditions received by the reception unit to the information processing apparatus. The image formation apparatus includes a second transmission unit configured to transmit, to the information processing apparatus, capability information indicating a capability of the image formation apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes a registration unit configured to register the image formation apparatus on the virtual printer in a case where the capability indicated in the capability information transmitted by the second transmission unit satisfies the conditions transmitted by the first transmission unit.

Abstract: On a recording sheet of a first size, an image combined with gradation patches of a plurality of colors is printed, on a recording sheet of a second size smaller than the first size, images combined with the gradation patches of the plurality of colors are divided and printed into a plurality of recording sheets, color measurement is performed on each of the gradation patches, and gradation correction data is generated.

Abstract: In a case where extension information is included in information regarding presets provided by a printing apparatus, an information processing apparatus prohibits a host side from editing the presets, thereby preventing the occurrence of a conflict between settings of a print job. In a case where extension information is not included in the presets, the information processing apparatus allows the host side to edit the presets, thereby providing a method for changing some of the presets to a user.

Abstract: To reduce a feedback delay as much as possible while maintaining the suppression effect of the tone variation in a case where tone correction is performed real time during processing of a print job. The density reference value for tone correction is managed in association with the sheet type registered for the feeding cassette of the printing apparatus. Due to this, even in a case where print jobs are switched, the feedback of a parameter necessary for tone correction is not interrupted unless the sheet type registered for the feeding cassette is changed.
