And, if the residual number of printing sheets set in an organization unit ID is less than the designated number of the sheets (S6), if the printer does not have a function of executing the print command (S8), if the processing capacity of the printer is not an allowable range (S10), if the printer is not in a printable state (S12), or if an error of the printer occurs (S14), a predetermined message to a user is displayed on the display unit, and any unit selects its dealing (S7, S9, S11, S13, S15). |
