  • Patent number: 11656815
    Abstract: A printing system restricts printing performed by a printing apparatus in a case where predetermined information, representing a printing amount of the printing by utilizing a consumable part, reaches a set 1st value during printing in a state where communication between a server and the printing apparatus is impossible, and the server outputs a 2nd value, which is different from the 1st value, to the printing apparatus in a state where the communication with the printing apparatus is possible. If the 2nd value is input from the server, the printing apparatus restricts the printing in a case where the predetermined information reaches the 2nd value during printing in a state where the communication with the server is impossible, and in a case where a time period related to maintenance of the server is input, the server outputs the 2nd value to the printing apparatus, based on the time period.

  • Publication number: 20220050646
    Abstract: A technique capable of appropriately managing the printing performed by a printing apparatus in an offline state is to be provided. As a threshold value for restricting the printing performed by the printing apparatus in a state where the communication is impossible, a server configured to manage the printing apparatus outputs a 2nd value, which is different from a 1st value that is set in advance, to the printing apparatus in a state where the communication with the printing apparatus that performs printing by utilizing a consumable pat is possible. Further, if the 2nd value is input, the printing apparatus restricts printing in a case where predetermined information, which represents a printing amount utilizing the consumable part, reaches the 2nd value in a state where a notification cannot be provided to the server.
