  • Patent number: 9533516
    Abstract: A control method for controlling a printing apparatus includes printing an image on a sheet; receiving the printed sheet subjected to post-processing; controlling, in a case where the printed sheet subjected to post-processing is to be received in a first orientation, to perform post-processing to the received printed sheet without reversing the printed sheet, and, controlling, in a case where the printed sheet subjected to post-processing is to be received in a second orientation, to perform post-processing to the received printed sheet after reversing the printed sheet; and displaying, in a case where the printed sheet subjected to post-processing is to be received in the second orientation and a type of the sheet subjected to image printing and post-processing is of a type unsuitable for reversal, a screen for changing the type of the sheet to be used for printing and post-processing.

  • Publication number: 20140023418
    Abstract: A control method for controlling a printing apparatus includes printing an image on a sheet, receiving a position subjected to post-processing from a user, controlling, in a case where the received position subjected to post-processing is a first position, to perform post-processing to the received position on the sheet without reversing the sheet on which the image is printed, and, controlling, in a case where the received position subjected to post-processing is a second position, to perform post-processing to the received position on the sheet after reversing the sheet on which the image is printed, and displaying, in a case where the type of the sheet subjected to image printing is of a type unsuitable for reversal, a screen for changing the type of the sheet to be used for printing.

  • Patent number: 7643167
    Abstract: An image input/output system is used to input information for specifying the transmission source of data and a period of time during which the data should be received as search conditions for specifying the data that should be received. On the basis of the input conditions, the reception history of the data received via a network or a public network is read. The reception history is searched to determine whether the data that should be received has already been received. On the basis of the determination result, when the data that should be received has not been received, the fact that the data has not been received is reported.
