There is provided a printing apparatus that performs printing based on print data received from an information processing apparatus transmitting print data to the printing apparatus, transmitting print data as a substitute for the print data based on first error information, and not transmitting the print data as a substitute for the print data upon receipt of second error information. The printing apparatus includes a detection unit configured to detect that the print data includes data that cannot be processed by the printing apparatus, a determination unit configured to determine error information to be transmitted to the information processing apparatus as the first or second error information based on information included in the print data having been detected to include the data that cannot be processed by the printing apparatus, and a transmission unit configured to transmit the error information determined by the determination unit to the information processing apparatus.

Printing apparatus and method for controlling the same for notifying of occurrence of an error

An image forming apparatus includes a controller configured to receive, from an information processing apparatus, a set of print setting values, an identifier of the set, and a user identifier, register the received set of print setting values in association with the received identifier of the set and the received user identifier, and receive, from an information processing apparatus, a first request for obtaining the registered identifier of the set. The received first request includes the user identifier of a user that operates the information processing apparatus that has transmitted the first request. The controller also transmits, to the information processing apparatus that has transmitted the first request, the identifier of the set registered in association with the user identifier included in the first request, wherein the information processing apparatus that has received the identifier of the set displays a print setting screen using the received identifier of the set.

Image printing apparatus having print setting values, printing system, control method, and storage medium

A printing apparatus includes an image forming portion which forms a chart image on a sheet conveyed from a sheet feeding deck, a color measure portion which performs color measurement by reading the chart image formed by the image forming portion, and one or more controllers including one or more processors and one or more memories. The one or more controllers are configured to generate correction data based on color measurement results by the color measurer portion and a reference value, and perform correction for target image data by using the generated correction data. The reference value is obtained by performing color measurement by the color measure portion and is registered in association with a type of sheet on which the chart image is formed, and in a case where the type of sheet on which the chart image is formed is changed, the reference value is updated.

Printing apparatus, printing control method, and storage medium

An image forming apparatus includes a controller including a processor, with the controller configured to register a first print setting value related to a predetermined print setting item, and receive, from an information processing apparatus, a second print setting value set by the information processing apparatus, wherein the received second print setting value is related to the predetermined print setting item. The registered first print setting value is compared to the received second print setting value, and information based on a result of the comparison is transmitted to the information processing apparatus.

Image forming apparatus using print setting values and controlling method of image forming apparatus

A printing apparatus includes an image former which forms a tone pattern image on a sheet conveyed from a sheet feeding deck, a color measurer which performs color measurement by reading the tone pattern image formed by the image former, and one or more controllers including one or more processors and one or more memories. The one or more controllers are configured to generate tone correction data based on a difference between color measurement results by the color measurer and a reference value, and perform tone correction for print target image data by using the generated tone correction data. The reference value is registered in association with a type of sheet that is accommodated in the sheet feeding deck, and in a case where the type of sheet that is accommodated in the sheet feeding deck is changed, the reference value is cleared.

An information processing apparatus receives, from an image forming apparatus, setting values of a first setting item including a first setting value, setting values of a second setting item including a second setting value and a selected first combination without receiving a second combination, causes a display to display a first object for selecting one of the received setting values of the first setting item and a second object for selecting one of the received setting values of the second setting item, and restricts, based on the received first combination, setting a combination of the first setting value and the second setting value among combinations of setting values set by the first object and the second object.

Printing apparatus having stored print settings and method of controlling the same, and storage medium

An image forming apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store setting values of a plurality of setting items and identification information in association with each other, a receiving unit configured to receive an acquisition request for the identification information stored in the storage unit, from a predetermined print service, and a transmission unit configured to transmit, based on the received acquisition request, the stored identification information, and information for setting a first setting item unsettable in a predetermined print service associated with the identification information, in the predetermined print service, to the predetermined print service, and not to transmit information for setting a second setting item unsettable in the predetermined print service associated with the identification information, in the predetermined print service, to the predetermined print service.

Image forming apparatus, control method of image forming apparatus, and storage medium

The printing device registers setting information pertaining to printing and sends identification information of the registered setting information registered to an information processing device in response to an obtainment request from the information processing device. When a print job including the identification information is received from the information processing device, the printing device executes the print job having applied the setting information corresponding to the identification information to print settings of the print job.

Information processing device, printing device and method of controlling the same

Printing system, printing apparatus, and method for processing image data

A printing system includes an image formation apparatus, an information processing apparatus, and a terminal apparatus. The terminal apparatus includes a reception unit configured to receive conditions of capabilities required for an image formation apparatus to be registered on a virtual printer, and a first transmission unit configured to transmit the conditions received by the reception unit to the information processing apparatus. The image formation apparatus includes a second transmission unit configured to transmit, to the information processing apparatus, capability information indicating a capability of the image formation apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes a registration unit configured to register the image formation apparatus on the virtual printer in a case where the capability indicated in the capability information transmitted by the second transmission unit satisfies the conditions transmitted by the first transmission unit.
