    Abstract: A method of controlling an information processing apparatus includes transmitting a first job to a job processing apparatus, executing first control for holding the first job in a job queue that the information processing apparatus has in a state where processing based on the first job is executed in the job processing apparatus, and executing second control for terminating holding of the first job by the job queue based on a fact that a second job is registered in the job queue in a state where the first job is held in the job queue even in a case where the processing based on the first job is executed in the job processing apparatus.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a fixing device and a cooling device provided on a side downstream of the fixing device with respect to a sheet feeding direction. The cooling device includes a first unit including a first belt and a first roller, a second unit including a second belt for forming a nip in cooperation with the first belt, a heat sink and a second roller, and a driving motor for rotating the first roller and the second roller. The second unit is movable between a contact position where the first belt and the second belt are in contact with each other so as to form the nip and a separated position where the first belt and the second belt are in separation from each other so as to release the nip.

    Abstract: An external cooling device 101 is connectable to an image forming apparatus 100. The external cooling device 101 improves cooling power of a recording material S after toner image fixation. In this case, even when a heating amount of the fixing device 11 is increased, a temperature of the recording material S stacked on a stacking unit 60 can be lowered to not more than a predetermined temperature at which sticking does not occur. Further, the number of sheets stackable on said stacking unit 60 can be increased. By this, a user is capable of adjusting glossiness without concern for the sticking of the recording materials S on the stacking unit 60. Further, the user is not required to frequently carry out the recording material S of the stacking unit 60. That is, it is possible to provide an image forming system 1X capable of flexibly meeting the recording materials S of various kinds.

    Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing apparatus capable of switching a discharge manner of a one-page print job in a printer in a two-sided print setting. An information processing apparatus controls a printer capable of printing on a sheet-shaped recording medium. The apparatus includes a setting unit that sets, as a print setting for a first print process, a two-sided print setting or a one-sided print setting, and a controller that controls whether to execute control for discharging a recording medium printed by the first print process in a face-up manner or a face-down manner based on at least one of whether the two-sided print setting is set for a second print process executed before the first print process and whether the second print process is for printing pages, when the two-sided print setting is set for the first print process that prints one page.

    Abstract: A recording material cooling device includes a belt, a plurality of rollers, a belt cooling member, a recording material feeding member, a deposited matter removing member, a deposited matter receiving container, a roller holding member, and a supporting member for supporting the roller holding member so as to be swingable between a first position where the belt and the recording material feeding member contact each other and a second position where the belt is spaced from the recording material feeding member. The supporting member supports the roller holding member so that a swing center is positioned on one end side with respect to a rotational axis direction of the rollers. The receiving container includes a wall surface portion for preventing overflow of the deposited matter received through an opening of the receiving container when the roller holding member is positioned in the second position.
