Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a reception unit that receives an operation for a group printing job including plural printing jobs, and an instructing unit that gives an instruction to an image forming apparatus performing printing processing based on the printing job, in accordance with the operation.

Claims (46)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor, configured to:

receive an operation for a group printing job including a plurality of printing jobs; and

give an instruction to an image forming apparatus which is performing printing processing based on the group printing job, in accordance with the operation,

wherein in a case where the operation for the group printing job is received, the processor gives the instruction to the image forming apparatus to execute the operation for the plurality of printing jobs of the group printing job in an order of execution according to a mode to which the image forming apparatus is set,

wherein the order of execution is either a forward order or a reverse order with respect to the order of the plurality of printing jobs included in the group printing job,

wherein in a case where the mode is set to a first mode, the order of execution is the forward order, and

wherein in a case where the mode is set to a second mode different from the first mode, the order of execution is the reverse order.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein in a case where restart of printing is received as the operation for the group printing job, the processor gives an instruction for restarting printing to the image forming apparatus corresponding to the printing job, which is set to be in a printing holding mode, in the group printing job.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor gives an instruction for restarting printing to the image forming apparatus in order in the group printing job, among the printing jobs which are set to be in a printing holding mode.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein in a case where pause is received as the operation for the group printing job, the processor gives an instruction for pause to the image forming apparatus corresponding to the printing job which is set to be in a printing mode in the group printing job.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the processor gives an instruction for pause to the image forming apparatus in reverse order to the order in the group printing job, among the printing jobs which are set to be in a printing mode.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein in a case where cancellation is received as the operation for the group printing job, the processor gives an instruction for cancellation to the image foil ling apparatus corresponding to the printing job which is set to be in a printing holding mode or a printing mode in the group printing job.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein the processor gives an instruction for cancellation to the image forming apparatus in reverse order to the order in the group printing job, among the printing jobs which are set to be in a printing holding mode or a printing mode.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein in a case where trial printing is received as the operation for the group printing job, the processor gives an instruction for trial printing to the image forming apparatus corresponding to the printing job which is set to be in a printing holding mode in the group printing job.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the processor gives an instruction for trial printing to the image forming apparatus in order in the group printing job, among the printing jobs which are set to be in a printing holding mode.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein in a case where preferential printing is received as the operation for the group printing job, the processor gives an instruction for preferential printing to the image forming apparatus corresponding to the printing job which is set to be in a printing holding mode in the group printing job.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 ,

wherein the processor gives an instruction for preferential printing to the image forming apparatus in order in the group printing job, among the printing jobs which are set to be in a printing holding mode.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein in a case where interruption printing is received as the operation for the group printing job, the processor gives an instruction for interruption printing to the image forming apparatus corresponding to the printing job which is set to be in a printing holding mode in the group printing job.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 12 ,

wherein the processor gives an instruction for interruption printing to the image forming apparatus in reverse order to order in the group printing job, among the printing jobs which are set to be in a printing holding mode.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an information processing program causing a processor of a computer to:

receive an operation for a group printing job including a plurality of printing jobs; and

give an instruction to an image forming apparatus performing printing processing based on the printing job, in accordance with the operation,

wherein in a case where the operation for the group printing job is received, the processor gives the instruction to the image forming apparatus to execute the operation for the plurality of printing jobs of the group printing job in an order of execution according to a mode to which the image forming apparatus is set,

wherein the order of execution is either a forward order or a reverse order with respect to the order of the plurality of printing jobs included in the group printing job,

wherein in a case where the mode is set to a first mode, the order of execution is the forward order, and

wherein in a case where the mode is set to a second mode different from the first mode, the order of execution is the reverse order.

15. An information processing method, comprising:

receiving an operation for a group printing job including a plurality of printing jobs; and

giving an instruction to an image forming apparatus which is performing printing processing based on the group printing job, in accordance with the operation,

wherein in a case where the operation for the group printing job is received, the instruction is given to the image forming apparatus to execute the operation for the plurality of printing jobs of the group printing job in an order of execution according to a mode to which the image forming apparatus is set,

wherein the order of execution is either a forward order or a reverse order with respect to the order of the plurality of printing jobs included in the group printing job,

wherein in a case where the mode is set to a first mode, the order of execution is the forward order, and

wherein in a case where the mode is set to a second mode different from the first mode, the order of execution is the reverse order.
