Printing and printing control includes determining whether to set sheet attribute information of sheets in sheet holding units

摘要

A printing system includes a printing apparatus and a printing control apparatus. The printing apparatus obtains first attribute information about a sheet stored in a sheet holding unit of the printing apparatus and sends the first attribute information to the printing control apparatus. The printing control apparatus stores a combination of the first attribute information and second attribute information about a sheet, obtains the second attribute information based on received first attribute information, and sends the second attribute information to the printing apparatus. The printing apparatus and sets received second attribute information as attribute information about the sheet stored in the sheet holding unit. Where setting of the second attribute information is designated, the printing apparatus causes the setting unit to set the second attribute information. Where setting of the second attribute information is not designated, the printing apparatus restricts the setting unit from setting the second attribute information.

1. A printing system comprising:
a printing apparatus configured to print an image on a sheet conveyed from a sheet holding unit, wherein the printing apparatus includes: an obtaining unit configured to obtain a size of a sheet stored in a sheet holding unit of the printing apparatus, and a first sending unit configured to send the size obtained by the obtaining unit to a printing control apparatus; and the printing control apparatus, wherein the printing control apparatus includes: a storing unit configured to store a size of a sheet and attribute information of the sheet, a first receiving unit configured to receive the size sent by the first sending unit, a determining unit configured to determine attribute information of a sheet based on the size received by the first receiving unit, wherein the attribute information of the sheet is stored in association with the size received by the first receiving unit in the storing unit, and a second sending unit configured to send, to the printing apparatus, the attribute information determined by the determining unit, wherein the printing apparatus further includes: a second receiving unit configured to receive the attribute information sent by the second sending unit, a setting unit configured to set the attribute information received by the second receiving unit as attribute information of a sheet stored in the sheet holding unit, a printing unit configured to print, based on the attribute information set by the setting unit, an image on a sheet conveyed from the sheet holding unit, and an instruction receiving unit configured to receive, from a user, an instruction indicating whether a function is enabled or disabled, wherein the function is for setting attribute information of a sheet stored in association with the size obtained by the obtaining unit in the storing unit as attribute information of a sheet stored in the sheet holding unit, wherein, in a case where the instruction receiving unit receives an instruction indicating that the function is enabled, the setting unit sets the attribute information of the sheet stored in association with the size obtained by the obtaining unit in the storing unit as attribute information of a sheet stored in the sheet holding unit, wherein, in a case where the instruction receiving unit receives an instruction indicating that the function is disabled, the setting unit does not set the attribute information of the sheet stored in association with the size obtained by the obtaining unit in the storing unit as attribute information of a sheet stored in the sheet holding unit, and wherein at least one of the obtaining unit, the first sending unit, the first receiving unit, the determining unit, the second sending unit, the second receiving unit, the setting unit, and the instruction receiving unit is implemented by a processor and a memory.
