Printing system including a static-control apparatus, control method thereof, and storage medium

1 . A printing apparatus comprising:

a printer that prints an image on a sheet;

a conveyer that conveys the sheet on which the image is printed by the printer to a static electricity removal apparatus configured to perform a static electricity removal process on the sheet, the static electricity removal apparatus being different from the printing apparatus, the static electricity removal apparatus having a setting part receiving a setting of the static electricity removal process;

a storage that stores a list of sheet types requiring the static electricity removal process; and

one or more processors that obtain the setting of the setting part from the static electricity removal apparatus,

wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

notify a user when a type of the sheet is in the list of sheet types requiring the static electricity removal process and the obtained setting indicates that the static electricity removal process is OFF;

notify the user when the type of the sheet is not in the list of sheet types requiring the static electricity removal process and the obtained setting indicates that the static electricity removal process is ON;

cause the printer to print the image without issuing the notification when the type of the sheet is in the list of sheet types requiring the static electricity removal process and the obtained setting indicates that the static electricity removal process is ON;

cause the printer to print the image without issuing the notification when the type of the sheet is not in the list of sheet types requiring the static electricity removal process and the obtained setting indicates that the static electricity removal process is OFF; and

execute printing of the image in response to an operation on a notification screen displayed by the notification.

2 . The printing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a display that displays a state of the setting of the setting part,

wherein the display provides a display indicating whether the setting of the setting part is ON or OFF.

3 . The printing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the display displays the state of the setting of the setting part based on the setting acquired by the one or more processors.

4 . The printing apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising an interface configured to receive a job of printing the image on the sheet,

wherein after the interface receives the job, the display provides a predetermined display in a case where the sheet is a sheet not requiring the static electricity removal process and the setting of the setting part is ON.

5 . The printing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein after the display provides the predetermined display, the printer prints the image on the sheet upon receipt of a print start instruction from a user.

6 . The printing apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising an interface configured to receive a job of printing the image on the sheet,

wherein after the interface receives the job, the display provides a predetermined display in a case where the sheet is a sheet requiring the static electricity removal process and the setting of the setting part is OFF.

7 . The printing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein after the display provides the predetermined display, the printer prints the image on the sheet upon receipt of a print start instruction from a user.

8 . The printing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the static electricity removal process is performed by a static electricity removal roller.

9 . The printing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein in a case where the operation on the notification screen indicates cancellation, the one or more processors cancel the printing of the image.

10 . A control method for controlling a printing apparatus, the control method comprising:

printing an image on a sheet;

conveying the sheet on which the image is printed in the printing to a static electricity removal apparatus configured to perform a static electricity removal process on the sheet, the static electricity removal apparatus being different from the printing apparatus, the static electricity removal apparatus having a setting part receiving a setting of the static electricity removal process;

a storage that stores a list of sheet types requiring the static electricity removal process; and

obtaining the setting of the setting part from the static electricity removal apparatus;

wherein the control method further comprises steps of:

notifying a user when a type of the sheet is in the list of sheet types requiring the static electricity removal process and the obtained setting indicates that the static electricity removal process is OFF;

notifying the user when the type of the sheet is not in the list of sheet types requiring the static electricity removal process and the obtained setting indicates that the static electricity removal process is ON;

causing the printer to print the image without issuing the notification when the type of the sheet is in the list of sheet types requiring the static electricity removal process and the obtained setting indicates that the static electricity removal process is ON;

causing the printer to print the image without issuing the notification when the type of the sheet is not in the list of sheet types requiring the static electricity removal process and the obtained setting indicates that the static electricity removal process is OFF; and

executing printing of the image in response to an operation on a notification screen displayed by the notification.

11 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a control method for controlling a printing apparatus, the control method comprising:

printing an image on a sheet;

conveying the sheet on which the image is printed in the printing to a static electricity removal apparatus configured to perform a static electricity removal process on the sheet, the static electricity removal apparatus being different from the printing apparatus, the static electricity removal apparatus having a setting switch receiving the setting of the static electricity removal process;

storing a list of sheet types requiring the static electricity removal process; and

obtaining the setting of the setting switch from the static electricity removal apparatus;

wherein the control method further comprises steps of:

notifying a user when a type of the sheet is in the list of sheet types requiring the static electricity removal process and the obtained setting indicates that the static electricity removal process is OFF;

notifying the user when the type of the sheet is not in the list of sheet types requiring the static electricity removal process and the obtained setting indicates that the static electricity removal process is ON;

causing the printer to print the image without issuing the notification when the type of the sheet is in the list of sheet types requiring the static electricity removal process and the obtained setting indicates that the static electricity removal process is ON;

causing the printer to print the image without issuing the notification when the type of the sheet is not in the list of sheet types requiring the static electricity removal process and the obtained setting indicates that the static electricity removal process is OFF; and

executing printing of the image in response to an operation on a notification screen displayed by the notification.
