Information processing apparatus, method for controlling information processing apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable medium

A verification system includes a printer which prints image on a recording sheet, a reader which reads an image printed on the recording sheet, and controllers to set a first print setting via a setting screen, cause the printer to print an image based on the set first print setting, cause the reader to read the printed image, and register the read image as a correct image. The controllers also set a second print setting via the setting screen, cause the printer to print an verification target image based on the set second print setting, cause the reader to read the printed verification target image, and verify the read image using the registered correct image, and control the setting screen for the second print setting so that a predetermined print setting included in the first print setting cannot be edited on the setting screen for the second print setting.

Verification system, information processing apparatus, and control methods thereof

An image forming apparatus includes a sheet feeding device having a plurality of sheet feeding units, an opening and closing controlling unit, and a receiving unit. The opening and closing controlling unit controls opening and closing of the sheet feeding unit. Where the receiving unit receives an instruction for assigning a sheet having selected one attribute to designated one sheet feeding unit, the opening and closing controlling unit opens the designated one sheet feeding unit.

Image forming apparatus, printing system, controlling method of image forming apparatus, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus to control an image forming system includes a reception unit and a control unit. The image forming system includes a first conveyance unit configured to convey a recording medium and a second conveyance unit located downstream of the first conveyance unit in a conveyance route of the recording medium. The reception unit receives an instruction to set a conveyance speed of the first conveyance unit. The control unit sets the conveyance speed of the first conveyance unit to the image forming system based on the setting instruction, and sets a conveyance speed of the second conveyance unit to the image forming system based on the instruction to set the conveyance speed of the first conveyance unit.

Information processing apparatus, control method, and storage medium

Provided are a printing control apparatus, a method of controlling a printing control apparatus, and a storage medium capable of simplifying a process of updating information on a paper sheet for a tray for which update of the information is restricted. In a case where update of information on a print medium stored in association with a tray that is provided in an image forming apparatus and holds a print medium is restricted, a user interface is presented which requests to select whether to update the information stored in association with the tray to received update information. Then, the information stored in association with the tray is updated depending on the selection made via the user interface.

Sheet information changing apparatus, method of controlling sheet information changing apparatus, and storage medium for controlling sheet information and displaying a confirming screen

A sheet management system, in which a print control apparatus and an image forming apparatus are configured to communicate with each other, includes a selection unit, an adjustment unit, a confirmation unit, and a setting unit. The selection unit selects a sheet feeding deck. The adjustment unit adjusts sheet information including setting values for performing print processing on a sheet to be used for printing. The confirmation unit confirms. In a case where there is not a match between selected sheet information set for the sheet feeding deck and the sheet information to be adjusted, the confirmation unit confirms whether the sheet information to be adjusted by the adjustment unit is to be set for the selected sheet feeding deck. The setting unit sets the sheet information adjusted by the adjustment unit for the image forming apparatus in accordance with a result of confirmation by the confirmation unit.

Sheet management system and control method

A print management system having a control apparatus and an image forming apparatus with sheet feeding cassettes includes a sheet data registration unit to register sheet data indicating an attribute of each print sheet, a sheet feeding cassette selection unit to select a sheet feeding cassette, and a sheet data selection unit to select sheet data about at least one type of print sheet from the registered sheet data.
