INFORMATION TERMINAL, PRINTING SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD FOR PRINTING SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

A terminal apparatus downloads a file from a file server, generates a print job using the downloaded file, and transmits the generated print job toward an MFP. In the terminal apparatus, an application for downloading the file to be printed from the file server (a first application) accepts input of information which specifies the file to be downloaded, and thereafter initiates an application for transmitting the print job toward the MFP (a second application). After the second application accepts input of print setting, the first application starts download of the file.

1. An information terminal, comprising:
an execution unit for executing a first application for downloading a file and a second application for transmitting a print job including the file downloaded by said first application toward an image formation device, wherein said second application is executed by being invoked by said first application, and is in a suspended state when said first application is executed, and said first application is in a suspended state when said second application is executed, said information terminal further comprising: a memory for storing data used for said first application and data used for said second application, wherein said first application accepts input of first data which is information specifying the file to be downloaded, stores the first data in memory, invokes said second application, and shifts to the suspended state before starting download processing of the file specified by said first data and after invoking said second application, when said second application is invoked by said first application, said second application accepts input of second data which is information for print setting for the file specified by said first data, stores the second data in said memory, invokes said first application, and thereafter shifts to the suspended state, and when said first application is invoked by said second application, said first application starts download of the file specified by said first data.
