Abstract: A system includes a communication apparatus, an image forming apparatus, and an information processing apparatus. The communication apparatus includes a first network interface connected to a network and a second network interface connected to the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus includes a third network interface connected to the network and a fourth network interface connected to the communication apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes a fifth network interface connected to the network and a display device.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus and an information processing apparatus, and control methods thereof, store information of jobs that have been input, and display, in a display unit, a list of the stored jobs in an order in which the jobs are to be executed. Then, in the displayed job list, a job is moved in the list in response to a user operation for changing an execution order of the jobs, and a condition of the job that will occur after the job is moved is displayed while the job is being moved.

Abstract: A printing system includes a printing apparatus and a printing control apparatus. The printing apparatus obtains stored first attribute information of a sheet, and sends the obtained first attribute information to the printing control apparatus. The printing control apparatus includes an information storing unit and a first and second receiving unit. The information storing unit stores first and second attribute information of sheets. The first receiving unit receives first attribute information and the second sending unit reads sheet candidates corresponding to the received first attribute information and sends the sheet candidates to the printing apparatus. The printing apparatus further receives the received sheet candidates, displays the received sheet candidates, selects sheet information from the displayed sheet candidates, and sets the second attribute information of a selected sheet as attribute information of a sheet to be stored.

Abstract: A control method for a printing apparatus including a reading unit configured to read an image to generate image data includes printing, via a printing unit, an adjustment image, which is used to adjust a printing position, in such a way that the adjustment image is in contact with an end of a sheet, detecting the end of the sheet based on adjustment image data generated by the reading unit reading the adjustment image printed on the sheet by the printing unit, obtaining an amount of shift in the printing position based on the detected end of the sheet and the adjustment image data, and controlling, based on the obtained amount of shift in the printing position, the printing unit to print an image on the sheet.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes an obtaining unit, a storing unit, and a setting unit and is capable of communication with a print management server configured to be able to store delivery time information about a print product along with a print job. The obtaining unit obtains attribute information about a sheet specified by the print job stored in the print management server according to the delivery time information. The storing unit stores the attribute information about the sheet obtained by the obtaining unit. The setting unit sets the attribute information about the sheet stored in the storing unit as attribute information about a sheet held in a sheet holding unit of the printing apparatus.

Abstract: A print control apparatus capable of communicating with a printing apparatus has a first power mode and a second power mode, and power consumption of the second power mode is lower than power consumption of the first power mode.

Abstract: When a printing apparatus according to one aspect of this invention newly accepts a print job other than a specific job, for which guarantee of the print order is set as a print setting, during execution of print order guarantee for inhibiting execution of a print job other than the specific job and executing specific jobs in the acceptance order, it executes interrupt print processing to execute the print job under a predetermined condition. If the print settings of the print job do not include a setting which disturbs output of a printed material complying with the print settings of a specific job in progress by the print order guarantee, the printing apparatus executes the print job by interrupt processing.
