    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes at least one memory that stores a set of instructions and at least one processor that executes the instructions to register, as a registered sheet type, any of a plurality of sheet types that are selectable for the image forming apparatus, perform notification control in a first notification method in a case in which a print instruction, which uses a sheet type that is different from the registered sheet type and is any of the plurality of sheet types, is received, and perform notification control in a second notification method different from the first notification method in a case in which a print instruction, which uses a sheet type that is different from the registered sheet type and is other than the plurality of sheet types, is received.

    摘要: An image forming system includes an image forming unit, a sheet folding unit, a sheet discharge tray, and a control unit. For the print job in which a first sheet bundle and a second sheet bundle are discharged onto the sheet discharge tray, the control unit is configured to selectively execute a first image forming mode or a second image forming mode. The first image forming mode is a mode in which a page order is controlled in such a manner that page numbers of sheets included in the second sheet bundle are larger than page numbers of sheets included in the first sheet bundle. The second image forming mode is a mode in which a page order is controlled in such a manner that page numbers of sheets included in the first sheet bundle are larger than page numbers of sheets included in the second sheet bundle.

    摘要: In some implementations, a device may identify, for a printing operation, a media type associated with media involved in the printing operation. The device may receive, from a sensor, a sensor measurement associated with an ambient condition of the printer. The device may determine, using a print optimization model, a printing configuration for the printing operation based on the media type and the ambient condition, wherein the print optimization model is trained based on reference data associated with historical printing operations associated with one or more printers, wherein the reference data includes reference configurations associated with the historical printing operations, respective media types of media used in the historical printing operations, and corresponding ambient conditions of the one or more printers during the historical printing operations. The device may cause the printer to perform the printing operation according to the printing configuration.

    摘要: A printer driver communicates with a printer using a predetermined print protocol to obtain first attribute information related to printing from the printer. The print driver generates a print job conforming to the predetermined print protocol based on data received from an application and transmits the generated print job to the extension application (S606). The extension application obtains attribute information in a different form from the first attribute information (S611). The extension application displays a user interface (UI) for print settings based on at least the second attribute information (S613). The extension application generates a print job to be transmitted to the printer based on settings made via the UI and the print job received from the printer driver.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus, which is capable of notifying a user of mismatch between sheet types selected in an apparatus body and a print instruction, includes a registration unit that registers sheet types with respect to a sheet unit. The registration unit registers a first sheet type based on a user operation through an operation unit of the image forming apparatus, and a second sheet type based on user operations through the operation unit and an external device that communicates with the image forming apparatus. Notification is performed by one notification method when a sheet type other than the first sheet type is registered and a print instruction using the first sheet type is received. Notification is performed by another notification method when a sheet type other than the second sheet type is registered and a print instruction using the second sheet type is received.
