Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an operation unit for receiving an instruction given by a user, and according to receipt of a request of a print-and-delivery job from an external apparatus, performs print processing to produce a print and passes the produced print to a print delivery apparatus that delivers a print to a designated delivery destination. A controller controls an order of execution of jobs. In a state in which a print-and-delivery job has been registered in a job queue of the image forming apparatus, in a case where an instruction for executing a predetermined job which cannot be processed in parallel with the print-and-delivery job is received from the operation unit, the controller performs predetermined job priority control for causing the predetermined job to be preferentially executed.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus performs printing based on a print job and receives a completion notification from an automatic printed material delivery apparatus. Based on receipt of the completion notification, the image forming apparatus transmits a receipt acknowledgement request to a personal computer (PC) corresponding to a user (a requested user or a designated user) based on the job. Further, the image forming apparatus receives, from the PC, an acknowledgement notification based on a user operation performed on the PC in connection with the receipt acknowledgement request. In response to receipt of the acknowledgement notification, the image forming apparatus registers information indicating that the printed material has been received by the user based on the job as a job log of the job.
