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: 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: 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: 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 processing apparatus displays, based on detection of a maintenance event, a first maintenance screen including a moving image illustrating a maintenance method corresponding to the maintenance event, and displays a second maintenance screen including the moving image illustrating the maintenance method based on receipt of a display instruction to display the maintenance method in a state where the maintenance event is not detected.
