Abstract

An image forming system includes: an image forming apparatus that includes an image forming section that forms an image on a recording material in accordance with a print job and a first reception section that receives a command about output of the print job; and a post-processing apparatus that includes a post-processing section that performs post-processing on the recording material transported from the image forming apparatus in accordance with the print job and a second reception section that receives a command about the post-processing and that receives a command about re-output of the print job in a case where the print job is to be possibly re-output.

Claims (32)

1. An image forming system comprising:

an image forming apparatus that includes

an image forming section that forms an image on a recording material in accordance with a print job and

a first reception section that receives a command about output of the print job; and

a post-processing apparatus that includes

a post-processing section that performs post-processing on the recording material transported from the image forming apparatus in accordance with the print job and

a second reception section that receives a command about the post-processing and that receives a command about re-output of the print job in a case where the print job is to be possibly re-output,

wherein the second reception section of the post-processing apparatus receives a command about re-output of the print job in a case where the print job is a process of forming an image using a part of image data.

2. The image forming system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second reception section of the post-processing apparatus receives a command about re-output of the print job in a case where the print job is a process of forming an image for checking a condition for the print job using a part of the image data.

3. The image forming system according to claim 2 ,

wherein the second reception section of the post-processing apparatus receives a command about the condition as the command about re-output of the print job.

4. The image forming system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second reception section of the post-processing apparatus receives a command about re-output of the print job in a case where the print job has a plurality of output destinations and is output via the post-processing apparatus prior to being output to the other output destinations.

5. The image forming system according to claim 4 ,

wherein the second reception section of the post-processing apparatus receives a command about output to the other output destinations as the command about re-output of the print job.

6. The image forming system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the image forming apparatus includes a storage section that temporarily stores image data related to the print job, and

the second reception section of the post-processing apparatus receives a command about re-output of the print job in a case where at least a part of the image data related to the print job is stored in the storage section.

7. The image forming system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second reception section of the post-processing apparatus receives a part of a command about output of the print job received by the first reception section of the image forming apparatus as the command about re-output of the print job.

8. The image forming system according to claim 7 ,

wherein the image forming apparatus includes an acquisition section that acquires image data related to the print job, and

the second reception section of the post-processing apparatus receives only a command for the image data acquired by the acquisition section as the command about re-output of the print job.

9. An image forming system comprising:

image forming means including

an image forming section that forms an image on a recording material in accordance with a print job and

a first reception section that receives a command about output of the print job; and

post-processing means including

a post-processing section that performs post-processing on the recording material transported from the image forming apparatus in accordance with the print job and

a second reception section that receives a command about the post-processing and that receives a command about re-output of the print job in a case where the print job is to be possibly re-output, and

wherein the second reception section of the post-processing means receives a command about re-output of the print job in a case where the print job is a process of forming an image using a part of image data.
