Abstract
A discharge system includes: a reader unit configured to obtain read images corresponding to images of a plurality of pages by reading printed sheets of a printing job for printing the plurality of pages; a detection unit configured to detect a printing failure of each of the printed sheets using the read images; and a discharge unit configured to discharge each of the printed sheets in a discharge mode that depends on a detection result of the printing failure. The discharge unit discharges one or more printed sheets to a first discharge destination in a first discharge mode until the printing failure is detected, discharges a failure sheet in a second discharge mode in response to the printing failure being detected, and discharges a reprinted sheet on which the same page as the failure sheet is printed to the first discharge destination.
