An image forming apparatus which is capable of appropriately producing displays using installed expansion application modules without using a window manager module. The image forming apparatus produces a display in accordance with a display instruction for at least one of the installed expansion application modules. When display instructions for the expansion application modules overlap each other, priorities for display are assigned based on starting conditions related to the expansion application modules.

An image processing apparatus includes a character recognition unit, a storage unit, a display unit, and a reception unit. The character recognition unit is configured to recognize characters included in a plurality of pieces of image data. The storage unit is configured to perform control such that the plurality of pieces of image data is stored in a folder named with a character string including the characters recognized by the character recognition unit. The display unit is configured to display a screen. The reception unit is configured to receive a setting for a condition made by a user. In a case where the character string including the characters recognized by the character recognition unit does not satisfy the condition, the display unit displays a screen including information indicating image data in which the characters are recognized.

An image forming apparatus includes a setting unit that sets a non-billing mode that is a mode of executing, without performing billing, a job that is set such that billing is performed for execution of the job, and a storage unit that stores a history of a job executed during a period in which the non-billing mode is set, wherein the stored history includes a cumulative number of pages obtained by printing performed by executing a job during a period in which the non billing mode is set.

Image forming apparatus, control method, and storage medium

An image forming apparatus capable of running a predetermined application program on a firmware, which includes an operation unit, a memory configured to accept a user operation via the operation unit and store a user interface program which initializes display of the operation unit in accordance with an elapse of predetermined time, and a notifying unit configured to notify the firmware and the user interface program when the user operation via the operation unit is accepted, in which while the predetermined application program is running, the notifying unit notifies the application program of operation information based on the user operation via the firmware so that the user interface program does not initialize the display of the operation unit in accordance with the elapse of the predetermined time, and the notifying unit notifies the user interface program of predetermined notification which is not based on the user operation at predetermined timing.

An information processing apparatus that enables a user to install a desired module with ease. A plurality of modules are installed into a PC as an information processing apparatus for performing print processing in an MFP as an image processing apparatus. A usage form of the PC is set. Required ones of the plurality of modules are displayed based on the set usage form, and are installed into the PC.

An information processing apparatus has a printer driver and a device service associated with the printer driver as an output port of a print job generated by the printer driver. The printer driver receives data in accordance with a print instruction from an application operating on the information processing apparatus, generates a print job based on the received data, and outputs the print job to the output port. The print job is sent to the device service by an operating system using internal loopback. The device service connects to a print apparatus via a port that is different from the output port of the information processing apparatus, receives the print job from the printer driver, transmits a first control command for obtaining status information to the print apparatus, obtains the status information of the apparatus, and accepts print data received through a receiving port.

A printing apparatus includes a detecting unit, a determination unit, a holding unit, and an instruction unit. The detecting unit detects a sheet type of a sheet used for a print job. The determination unit determines, in a case where a cassette is opened, whether the cassette is used for the print job and the print job is suspended because of a sheet empty state. The holding unit holds, in a case where the determination unit determines that the cassette is used for the print job and the print job is suspended because of the sheet empty state, the sheet type detected by the detecting unit. The instruction unit instructs, in a case where printing is restarted, a printer unit to restart printing of the print job using the sheet type held by the holding unit.

A printing apparatus, when a sheet is fed from a sheet feeding unit in a state where size information indicating the size of sheets stacked in the sheet feeding unit is not stored in a storage unit, detects and stores the size of the sheet during conveyance. The printing apparatus controls the execution of the print processing, without using size information in a case where a print instruction is received in a state where the size information is not stored, and using the size information in a case where the print instruction is received in a state where the size information is stored. Furthermore, the printing apparatus clears the size information stored in the storage unit when a particular key is operated in a state where the size information is stored while print processing is not being executed.

An image forming apparatus which is capable of preventing printing from being performed with a duplex unit incompletely attached. The duplex unit is attachable to and detachable from the image forming apparatus. Execution of one-sided printing and double-sided printing by a printing unit is inhibited based on that a detection unit does not detect attachment of the duplex unit in a state where information to an effect that attachment of the duplex unit has been detected previously by the detection unit.

A controller unit determines the operation mode of a device when an error relating to a color cartridge has been detected. When the controller unit determines that the operation mode of the device is a toner replacement priority mode, the controller unit determines whether or not the number of times a monochrome printing job has been executed is equal to or greater than a threshold value without resolving the error. When the number of times a monochrome printing job has been executed is equal to or greater than a threshold value without resolving the error, the controller unit switches the operation mode of the device to a monochrome performance priority mode.
