A CPU of a printing apparatus selects one of a plurality of setting permission information items based on sheet property information in a case in which printing processing is performed employing a specific sheet type. Subsequently, the CPU of the printing apparatus performs a setting regarding each of a plurality of printing setting items so as to obtain a setting permitted in the selected setting permission information item in a case in which printing processing is performed employing a specific sheet type. Thus, a printing apparatus capable of executing the printing settings of a plurality of printing setting items appropriately is provided.

Printing apparatus, information processing device, and printing method

This invention allows a user to immediately grasp the print status of a job only by inputting a print instruction of a job stored and held in an image forming apparatus. This invention also provides a user-friendly apparatus that notifies the user of a predicted time until completion of printing. For this purpose, the image forming apparatus of this invention has a touch panel formed on the display screen of the operation unit. A list of jobs registered in a Hold job list is displayed on the display screen. When the user selects at least one job and touches a 'Test print' or 'Print' button, the print job is registered in the print execution queue. Simultaneously, a list of unprinted print jobs registered in the print execution queue is automatically displayed.

Displaying uncompleted jobs in response to print request

This invention can cope with various user needs and use cases related to a holding function and can prevent any situation in which, for example, even when the holding function is disabled, an external device continuously inputs, to a printing apparatus, jobs which require use of the holding function. This invention also prevents the data of a job that requires use of the holding function from remaining in a memory when the holding function is disabled. This invention prevents data that will never be used from remaining in a storage area when the holding function is disabled. A printing system, according to the invention, enables a printing unit to execute a process of a job that requires use of the holding function of causing a storage unit to hold data of a job to be processed. The printing system includes a control unit which disables the holding function. If it is determined that the holding function is disabled, the control unit cancels execution, by the printing unit, of the process of the job that requires use of the holding function.

A printing system includes a receive controller that enables by using a user interface unit an input of an instruction during performing of first print processing with a print apparatus, and an operation controller that enables the print apparatus to perform check processing before completion of the first print processing in the case where the instruction is input, the check processing being second print processing by using print data which is used in the first print processing, the operation controller enabling the print apparatus to continue the first print processing after the second print processing.

An image forming device and control method thereof. The image forming device includes a printer engine control unit capable of detecting failure in transport of a sheet on which image data of a page is to be printed, a printer controller controlling output of image data from an output unit to a printer engine according to a first control mode wherein the image data of the page is re-outputted, and a second control mode wherein the image data of the page is not re-outputted, based upon settings in a job management table corresponding to the sheet. This enables suitable determination regarding whether or not the image data of the page corresponding to the jammed sheet should be re-outputted.

A list of print jobs stored in a printer, namely, print jobs by which an instruction of a change in attributes of the print jobs and an execution of the printing of the print jobs can be issued anytime is displayed on a display apparatus, thereby enabling the user to recognize such print jobs, select one of them, and issue a print executing instruction for the selected print job.

Upon receiving print data from a host, the print data is saved, and an image information generation module generates rasterized image data and saves it in a rasterized image storage means after compression. At this time, a time Trequired for analysis is measured. The stored rasterized image data is output to an engine, and a time Trequired for reading out and outputting the data at that time is also measured. The times Tand Tare compared. If TT, a print process is done by generating rasterized image data from the print data for the second and subsequent copies; if TTthe stored rasterized image data is read out and printed. In a color print process, rasterized image data is generated from the print data to execute a print process, thus activating a color correction function.

Multi-copy printing apparatus and it's control method

An output apparatus includes a cartridge which contains a recording material. A detector is provided in the apparatus for detecting the remaining amount of the recording material in the cartridge. A controller is provided in the apparatus for storing the cumulative consumed amount of the recording material in a non-volatile memory unit. Thus, the remaining amount of the recording material is determined.

The present invention aims to prevent an inconvenience that, when one print job stops, other print jobs essentially capable of being output are also inoperable and thus increases working efficiency. Thus, on the basis of a situation of a sheet holding unit to be used in an input print job, the order of printing of the input print jobs is changed irrespective of order of input of the print jobs before a print process is started.

A ferritic stainless steel sheet containing 16-25 mass % of Cr and Ti and/or Nb at a ratio of (C&plus;N)&times;8 or more is used as a substrate for formation of a hydrogen-permeating membrane exposed to a high-temperature atmosphere of 600-900&deg; C., while another ferritic stainless steel sheet containing Cr up to 15 mass % is used as a substrate for formation of a hydrogen-permeating membrane exposed to a high-temperature atmosphere of 450-600&deg; C. The stainless steel sheet is formed to a perforated body 3 with holes for passage of gas. A hydrogen-permeating membrane 3 is fixed to on an external surface of the perforated body 3 to build up a hydrogen-separating pipe 3. A plurality of the hydrogen-separators 3 are inserted into a cavity between inner and outer walls of a double-pipe 2 filled with a catalyst 4. Hydrocarbon gas fed through a nozzle 7 is decomposed with combustion heat of a fuel F fed into an inner space of the double-pipe 2. A decomposition product H selectively permeates through the membrane 3 and flows out through the takeout opening 8.

Method and apparatus for determining consumed amount of recording material

In a printing apparatus in which a part of the execution program is downloaded from the host computer, the invention allows the user to easily known the copyright information of the execution program and to select the use of such copyright. The host computer sends print data to the laser beam printer constituting the printing apparatus and downloads a part of the execution program. At the same time, the copyright information and the license information of the execution program are transmitted to the laser beam printer. The control unit of the laser beam printer processes the data based on the execution program, thereby recording the data on the recording sheet, and displays the copyright information and license information on the operation panel. Observing the display, the user selects whether or not to obtain the license by the operation panel.
