A printing system is provided. The system comprises a printing unit for forming an image on a sheet transported along a transport path; an inspection unit for inspecting an image formed on the sheet transported along the transport path by comparing the image with a reference image, and for recording order information of sheets that have been inspected and order information of sheets that have been correctly discharged; and a control unit for, when a jam occurs in the transport path of the sheet, controlling the inspection unit to resume inspection, after printing resumes, from a first sheet recorded as not yet having been inspected or not correctly discharged.

Printing system, inspection method, and medium

A first inspection apparatus registers an image scanned from a print product printed by a first printing apparatus as a first reference image, and registers information of a print job related to printing of the image with the image and first configuration information indicating configuration of the first printing apparatus. A second inspection apparatus imports the first reference image registered in the first inspection apparatus and registers the imported first reference image as the second reference image. Based on information of the print job registered with the first reference image, the first configuration information, and the second configuration information indicating the configuration of the second printing apparatus, it is controlled whether the first reference image is registered as the second reference image by reversing a front and back of the first reference image or as the second reference image without reversing the front and back of the first reference image.

Inspecting print quality of print product by controlling registration of imported reference image adjusted or not based on print job information and configuration of printing apparatus

An information processing apparatus, to communicate with an image forming apparatus having a predetermined sheet feeding unit, includes a selection unit and a setting unit. The selection unit selects one storage method at least from among a first and second sheet information storage method. The setting unit executes a setting, based on the selected one storage method, for the predetermined sheet feeding unit. In the first sheet information storage method and after the sheet information is set for the predetermined sheet feeding unit, the setting of the sheet information is not cancelled when an absence of a sheet on the predetermined sheet feeding unit is detected. In the second sheet information storage method and after the sheet information is set for the predetermined sheet feeding unit, the setting of the sheet information is cancelled when an absence of a sheet on the predetermined sheet feeding unit is detected.

Information processing apparatus for managing sheet information according to presence or absence of a sheet

An information processing apparatus connected to an image forming apparatus includes a display control unit configured to perform control for displaying at least a predetermined image in a predetermined display region and shifting a display position of the predetermined image displayed in the display region in accordance with a command from a user, a setting unit configured to set a value used for adjusting a position where the image forming apparatus prints an image onto a recording medium based on the display position of the predetermined image in the display region, and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the value set by the setting unit to the image forming apparatus.

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

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

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

An alumina fiber aggregate that is formed of alumina short fibers and has been subjected to needling treatment, wherein the alumina short fibers have an average fiber diameter of 6.0 &#x3bc;m or more and 10.0 &#x3bc;m or less and a specific surface area of 0.2 m/g or more and 1.0 m/g or less, and a residual percentage (%) of high-temperature-cycle opened gap pressure of the alumina fiber aggregate is 45% or more. A value obtained by subtracting twice the standard error of a length-weighted geometric mean diameter of fiber diameters of the alumina short fibers from the length-weighted geometric mean diameter is 6.0 &#x3bc;m or more. A proportion of alumina short fibers having a fiber diameter of more than 10.0 &#x3bc;m is preferably 5.0% or less on a number basis.

Alumina fiber aggregate

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. An adjustment value setting unit sets adjustment value information during image formation while feeding the selected print sheet and a database setting unit sets, in association with each other, the attribute of the selected sheet feeding cassette, the selected sheet data about the print sheet, and the set adjustment value information. The database setting unit allows setting to one piece of sheet data adjustment value information about each sheet feeding cassette selected by the sheet feeding cassette selection unit.

A multi-function peripheral and an information processing apparatus are capable of communicating with each other. In one authentication setting of the information processing apparatus, functions restricted in use are disabled from being set. In another authentication setting of the information processing apparatus, when an operation on a function restricted in use is performed on a screen associated with functions of the multi-function peripheral, the information processing apparatus displays an authentication screen to cause the multi-function peripheral to execute an authentication process based on information input via the authentication screen, and if a result of the authentication process transmitted from the multi-function peripheral indicates that the authentication is successful, the screen is controlled to receive the operation on the function from the user.
