Changing printing speeds in an image forming apparatus

A communication apparatus receives a first trigger frame including information about orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) conforming to IEEE 802.11 standard from an external access point external to the communication apparatus while a first mode is enabled, performs communication processing in the first mode through OFDMA conforming to the IEEE 802.11 standard based on information about the first trigger frame, and transmits, in a case where a second mode is enabled, a second trigger frame including information about OFDMA conforming to the IEEE 802.11 standard.

Communication apparatus performing communication through orthogonal frequency division multiple access and method for controlling communication apparatus

An image forming apparatus receives a first trigger frame including information about OFDMA conforming to the IEEE 802.11 standard from an external access point external to the image forming apparatus while a first mode is enabled, performs communication processing in the first mode through OFDMA conforming to the IEEE 802.11 standard based on information about the first trigger frame, and transmits, in a case where the a mode is enabled, a second trigger frame including information about OFDMA conforming to IEEE 802.11 standard.

Image forming apparatus configured to communicate through different wireless modes

An information processing apparatus includes a receiving unit configured to receive order data for a printed product, and content data for the order data, and a control unit configured to perform control in such a manner as to perform production of the printed product. The order data for the printed product and the content data for the order data are received at different timings. The receiving unit further receives finalized information about the content data. The control unit performs control in such a manner as to perform production of the printed product based on the order data, the content data and the finalized information.

Information processing apparatus and control method for the same

A control apparatus analyzes a job used to execute print processing and acquires sheet information of a page included in the job, decides a print speed in the print processing based on the acquired information, and executes the print processing using the decided print speed. The sheet information of each of a plurality of pages included in the job is acquired, the print speed is decided based on the acquired information, and the print processing is executed using the decided print speed. Print processing is not executed during the acquisition of the sheet information of each of the plurality of pages.

Control apparatus having multiple print speeds, control method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program

An information processing apparatus is provided, which performs: acquiring an inspection result obtained by inspecting quality of a print product; receiving quality request data including an evaluation criterion; specifying a quality level of the print product based on the evaluation criterion included in the quality request data and the inspection result; creating quality report data including the inspection result and the quality level; and transmitting the quality report data to a predetermined external apparatus.

Workflow system, information processing apparatus, quality report data creation method, and media

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

An information processing apparatus includes an obtaining unit that obtains a job including a plurality of pages, and a determining unit that determines a page group constituted by consecutive sheets of a same sheet type, from the plurality of pages included in the job obtained by the obtaining unit. A setting unit sets a transport speed of sheets in the page group determined by the determining unit.

Information processing apparatus, image forming system, method, and non- transitory computer-readable storage medium

Instruction information on quality inspection of a printed matter is acquired, and it is determined whether the instruction information identifies an inspection target by identification information of an object or by coordinate information. An inspection position is identified in accordance with the determination result, and quality inspection of the printed matter is performed by using the identified inspection position.

Information processing apparatus and control method therefor

A production control apparatus is provided. The production control apparatus receives a print product production instruction, determines, in accordance with the production instruction, a production apparatus to be used for print product production, determines a first inspection item according to quality requirement data received together with the production instruction and a second inspection item according to the production apparatus respectively, and regarding the print product produced by using the production apparatus, inspects the determined first inspection item and the second inspection item respectively, and obtains an inspection result.

Evaluating print product in consideration of characteristics of printing apparatus

A workflow control method is provided for processing, by an information processing apparatus, submission data in each process of a workflow to produce a print product. In the method, the submission data is accepted by the information processing apparatus. If new submission data to original submission data is submitted, it is determined whether a current processing step for the original submission data is a specific process or a process after that. If it is determined that the current processing step is the specific process or the process after that, the new submission data is not accepted, and otherwise, the new submission data is accepted.

Workflow control system, workflow control method, and storage medium

An image forming apparatus receives a print job. If the print job includes instruction information for giving an instruction on a sheet setting for a sheet feed unit, the image forming apparatus makes the sheet setting for the sheet feed unit based on the instruction information.
