Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a display that displays one of a first list including information of part of a plurality of sheet holding units, and a second list, including information of another sheet holding unit, of the plurality of sheet holding units, which is not displayed in the first list, and a user interface that receives a change instruction for changing the first list to the second list. The printing apparatus also includes a controller that controls the display based on the received change instruction received, such that, when an empty state occurs in a sheet holding unit of the part of the plurality of sheet holding units included in the information of the first list, the display initially displays the first list, and, when an empty state occurs in the other sheet holding unit included in the information of the second list, the display initially displays the second list.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus to perform image formation using a plurality of consumable parts includes a display unit and a display control unit. The display control unit displays, on the display unit, a first screen indicating at least a degree of consumption of a consumable part of a type in which an image forming operation stops in response to the consumable part reaching a time for replacement from among the plurality of consumable parts, and displays, on the display unit, a second screen indicating at least a degree of consumption of a consumable part of a type in which an image forming operation does not stop in response to the consumable part reaching a time for replacement from among the plurality of consumable parts.

Abstract: In an image forming apparatus, an event detection unit detects occurrence of an event which requires replacement of a part, a notification unit notifies guidance for replacing the part if the event detection unit detects occurrence of the event, and a control unit ends a notification of the guidance using, as conditions, a case in which a cover open to perform the replacement is set in a closed state and a case in which an input of an instruction that the replacement has completed is accepted.

Abstract: A printing apparatus capable of producing a product having the optimum image layout dependent on a discharge destination even when saddle-stitching is canceled due to input of image data for sheets in excess of a limit of a saddle-stitchable number of sheets. The number of output sheets per one copy is calculated based on image data. When the number of output sheets per one copy exceeds a saddle-stitchable number of sheets, it is selected whether to perform the center folding processing on the sheets on which images are printed without performing the saddle stitching processing thereon or to perform neither the saddle stitching processing nor the center folding processing on the sheets on which images are printed.

Abstract: There is provided an image forming apparatus that performs control so as to display a first maintenance screen containing a moving image indicating a work content required to resolve a maintenance event on a display unit in a case where occurrence of the maintenance event is detected by an event detection unit configured to detect the occurrence of the maintenance event that has occurred therein. Then, the image forming apparatus performs control so as to display a second maintenance screen containing the moving image indicating the work content required to resolve the maintenance event on the display unit according to a display instruction issued from a user in a case where the occurrence of the maintenance event is not detected by the event detection unit.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus connected to a sheet hole punching apparatus that applies a punch process to a sheet, and a method for controlling the same, in which from a die-set mounted to the sheet hole punching apparatus, die-set information including at least identification information for identifying the die-set is obtained, and in association with the die-set information, a number of times that the punch process has been executed using the die-set is counted. Control is performed to prompt a user to lubricate the die-set when the number of times counted by the counter unit exceeds a threshold value.

Abstract: A printing apparatus capable of conveying sheets to a sheet processing apparatus and to control the type of a sheet to be used as a cover sheet in a case where a book bound product is generated by switching back sheets each having an image printed, inverting the sheets and folding the inverted sheets, and to notify an error to a user based on the type of a sheet to be used as the cover sheet in a case where printing an image on the cover sheet is designated.

Abstract: A mechanism that makes it possible to output a saddle-stitched brochure in a correct page order when a post-processing apparatus that executes a saddle-stitching process by switching back a sheet is caused to execute the saddle-stitching process. Sheets discharged from a printing apparatus are switched back by reverse rotation of a conveying roller pair, and are conveyed into a conveying path for a saddle-stitch bookbinding process. The sheets are accumulated in an accumulation tray for the saddle-stitch bookbinding process. When the saddle-stitch bookbinding process is caused to be executed on the accumulated sheets by the post-processing apparatus, the order of image formation is decided such that the order of pages of images printed on the saddle-stitched sheets becomes correct. The images are printed on the sheets in the decided order of image formation.

Abstract: In an image forming apparatus, an event detection unit detects occurrence of an event which requires replacement of a part, a notification unit notifies guidance for replacing the part if the event detection unit detects occurrence of the event, and a control unit ends a notification of the guidance using, as conditions, a case in which a cover open to perform the replacement is set in a closed state and a case in which an input of an instruction that the replacement has completed is accepted.

Abstract: A printing apparatus has a first binding unit for performing a binding process at any one of plural positions and a second binding unit for performing a binding process at a single position and prints images based on image data on sheets. If the binding process is performed using the first binding unit, the printing apparatus prints images on sheets according to the input order of the image data. If the binding process is performed using the second binding unit, the printing apparatus prints images on sheets according to the input order of the image data, or prints the images according to an order reversed from the input order of the image data, based on the orientation of the images of the image data, the single position and the orientation of the sheets used for printing.
