Abstract

A server system includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a print setting from a different server system, and a transmission unit configured to transmit, to an image forming apparatus, print data in which a different print setting has been appended to the print setting acquired by the acquisition unit.

Claims (25)

1. A server system comprising:

an acquisition unit configured to acquire a print setting from a different server system; and

a transmission unit configured to transmit, to an image forming apparatus, a print job in which a different print setting has been appended to the print setting acquired by the acquisition unit.

2. The server system according to claim 1 , wherein the different print setting includes a setting item which is not included in the print setting.

3. The server system according to claim 2 , wherein the setting item which is not included in the print setting is at least one of stapleless stitch, setting of forced duplex printing, and bicolor printing.

4. The server system according to claim 1 , wherein the print job is print job which is generated by appending the different print setting to print job with the print setting set thereto.

5. The server system according to claim 1 , further comprising an appending unit configured to append the different print setting to print job with the print setting acquired by the acquisition unit set thereto,

wherein the transmission unit transmits, to the image forming apparatus, the print job with the different print setting appended thereto by the appending unit.

6. The server system according to claim 5 , wherein the appending unit does not set a setting item which is set in the print setting from among the different setting, and sets a setting item which is not set in the print setting from among the different setting.

7. The server system according to claim 5 , wherein, with regard to a setting item which is set in the different print setting and is not set in the print setting, the appending unit appends, to the print setting, a setting which is set in the different print setting.

8. The server system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a reception unit configured to receive a print job from the different server system; and

a generation unit configured to generate a print job based on the print job received by the reception unit and the print setting with the different print setting appended thereto.

9. The server system according to claim 1 , further comprising a setting unit configured to set the different print setting.

10. The server system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second transmission unit configured to transmit an authentication request to the different server system; and

a reception unit configured to receive an access token issued based on the authentication request transmitted by the second transmission unit.

11. The server system according to claim 10 , wherein the acquisition unit acquires a print setting from the different server system with use of the access token received by the reception unit.

12. The server system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the server system is able to store the different print setting for each user, and

wherein the transmission unit transmits, to the image forming apparatus, a print job in which the different print setting stored in association with the user who has input the print job has been appended to the prim setting acquired by the acquisition unit.

13. The server system according to claim 1 , wherein the different server system is a server system which is able to designate the server system and instruct the server system to perform printing.

14. The server system according to claim 1 , wherein the print job includes image data, the acquired print setting and the different print setting.

15. The server system according to claim 1 , wherein the acquisition unit acquires, from the different server system, the print job including image data and the print setting.

16. The server system according to claim 15 , wherein the acquired print setting is a print setting included in the print job acquired by the acquisition unit.
