Printing system and control method using first and second user interfaces

摘要

The present invention provides a printing system provided with a printing apparatus and a post-processing apparatus, and a control method thereof, wherein, when an instruction is given to execute an off-line job in which a post-process by the post-processing apparatus is performed without printing by the printing apparatus (S11), a screen for selecting an off-line job using the post-processing apparatus can be displayed by the second user interface of the post-processing apparatus and the off-line job can be selected (S12), and, in response to an instruction to start the off-line job from the first user interface of the printing apparatus (S16), the off-line process is executed (S17 and S18).

主权项

1. A printing system including a printing apparatus and a sheet processing apparatus, comprising:
a first user interface unit configured to be provided on the printing apparatus and configured to receive a request for (i) executing a first type of job for printing an image on a sheet by the printing apparatus, (ii) conveying the sheet to the sheet processing apparatus by a conveying unit, and (iii) controlling the sheet processing apparatus to execute a sheet process on the sheet by the sheet processing apparatus; and a second user interface unit configured to be provided on the sheet processing apparatus and configured to receive a request for executing a second type of job for executing a sheet process on a sheet by the sheet processing apparatus without printing an image on the sheet by the printing apparatus, wherein the second type of job can be executed according to the request received by the second user interface unit while the printing apparatus is in a sleep mode, and wherein a user operation via the first user interface unit is reflected on a touch panel display included in the first user interface unit, and a user operation via the second user interface unit, which is not provided with a touch panel display, is reflected on at least one of a plurality of indicators included in the second user interface unit.
