Abstract

An image forming apparatus that executes a job includes a receiving unit configured to receive a cancel instruction for the job after the job processing is started and before the job is completed; and a control unit configured to perform control, by determining a cause of the cancel instruction received for the job, to switch between a processing in which the job is saved in a saving unit as a job to be re-processed and a processing in which the job is not treated as a job to be re-processed.

Claims (19)

1. An image forming apparatus that executes a job, the image forming apparatus comprising:

a receiving unit configured to receive a cancel instruction for the job after the job processing is started and before the job is completed;

a display unit configured to display confirmation screen based on a cause of the cancel instruction received for the job, the confirmation screen receiving a save instruction for saving the job in a saving unit; and

a control unit configured to perform control, when the save instruction is received from a user via the confirmation screen, to save the job in a saving unit as a job to be re-executed.

2. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit including:

a unit configured to determine whether the job is to be executed by comparing an attribute value of the job with a particular cancellation cause; and

a unit configured to perform control, by changing the attribute value of the job to determine whether the job is re-executable if the job is determined not to be executed, to switch between a processing in which the job is saved in a saving unit as a job to be re-executed and a processing in which the job is not treated as a job to be re-executed.

3. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit including:

a unit configured to perform control, by determining a cause of the cancel instruction received for the job, to switch between a processing in which the job is saved in a saving unit as a job to be re-processed and a processing in which the job is not treated as a job to be re-processed;

a unit configured to determine whether the job is to be executed by comparing an attribute value of the job with a particular cancellation cause; and

a unit configured to perform control, by changing the attribute value of the job to determine whether the job is re-executable if the job is determined not to be executed, to switch between the processing in which the job is saved in a saving unit as a job to be re-executed and the processing in which the job is not treated as a job to be re-executed.

4. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising: a completion determination unit configured to determine whether reception processing for the job is completed if the job is determined not to be executed; and a first continuation processing unit configured to continue the reception processing for the job until the reception processing for the job is completed if the reception processing for the job is determined not to have been completed.

5. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising: a second continuation processing unit configured to continue, when the cancel instruction is received, reception processing for data until the reception processing for data of the job having received the cancel instruction is completed.

6. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising: a second confirmation screen display unit configured to display, when the cancel instruction is received, a confirmation screen on a display unit until reception processing for data of the job having received the cancel instruction is completed, the confirmation screen receiving an instruction specifying whether to continue the reception processing for data.

7. A method for controlling an image forming apparatus that executes a job, the method comprising:

receiving a cancel instruction for the job after the job processing is started and before the job is completed;

displaying a confirmation screen based on a cause of the cancel instruction received for the job, the confirmation screen receiving a save instruction for saving the job in a saving unit; and

performing control when the save instruction is received from a user via the confirmation screen, to save the job in the saving unit as a job to be re-executed.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute the method according to claim 7 .
