no. 1 approach

[0021] figure 1 It is a diagram showing the configuration of the printing system 1000 .

[0022] Such as figure 1 As shown, the printing system 1000 includes four multifunction machines 1 , 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D, and a terminal device 2 . The multifunction peripheral 1 corresponds to an example of a printing device.

[0023] Such as figure 1 As shown, in the printing system 1000, four multifunction peripherals 1 and terminal devices 2 are connected to the network NW. The network NW may be a network constructed by virtual lines such as a VPN (Virtual Private Network, virtual private network), or may be a network constructed by physical lines. In addition, the network NW may also be a network constructed including one or more intermediate network devices.

[0024] The printing system 1000 has a function of authentication printing.

[0025] The authentication printing means that the MFP 1 accepts an operation related to user authentication from the user P, and the MFP 1 perfor...

no. 2 approach

[0183] Next, a second embodiment will be described.

[0184] In the description of the second embodiment, the same components as those of the multifunction peripheral 1 and the terminal device 2 of the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions are appropriately omitted.

[0185] The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the content of the data format list 123 stored in each multi-function peripheral 1 . The data format list 123 of the first embodiment is a list showing all the data formats corresponding to the multi-function peripheral 1 for each multi-function peripheral 1 . The data format list 123 of the second embodiment is a list showing, for each multifunction peripheral 1 , all data formats that the multifunction peripheral 1 can process at a predetermined processing speed or higher. This data format is predetermined for each multi-function peripheral 1 .

no. 3 approach

[0203] Next, a third embodiment will be described.

[0204] In the description of the third embodiment, the same components as those of the multifunction peripheral 1 and the terminal device 2 in the first and second embodiments are given the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions are appropriately omitted.

[0205] The third embodiment differs from the first and second embodiments in that the data format list 123 stored in each multi-function peripheral 1 is different. In addition, in the third embodiment, compared with the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the terminal device 2 performs preprocessing on the data format list 123 before the data format determination process.

[0206] Figure 10 It is a diagram showing an example of the data format list 123 of the third embodiment.

[0207] One record of the data format list 123 according to the third embodiment has a multifunction device field F1, a priority field F3, and a data format field F2.

Abstract

The invention provides a printing system, a printing apparatus, and a terminal apparatus, which can enable a user to perform printing through any multifunctional printer (1) even if the data formats of corresponding print job data (1251) in a plurality of multifunctional printers (1) are different. In a printing system (1000), a terminal device generates a plurality of pieces of print job data (1251) based on a data format list (123) and transmit the generated print job data (1251) to a first multifunctional machine, the first multifunctional machine stores a plurality of pieces of received print job data (1251), and performs printing based on print job data (1251) having the data format supported by the first multifunctional machine itself when the first multifunctional machine itself receives a print instruction from a user, and a second multifunctional machine receives print job data (1251) having the data format supported by the second multifunctional machine itself from the first multifunctional machine when the second multifunctional machine itself receives a print instruction from a user and performs printing based on the received print job data (1251).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a printing system, a printing device and a terminal device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in a printing system having a plurality of printing devices, a technique is known in which a user can perform printing with an arbitrary printing device. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technology in which, in a printing system having a plurality of printing devices, one printing device holds print job data transmitted from an information processing device, and a printing device different from the one printing device When another printing device executes printing, the print job data is acquired from the one printing device and print processing is executed. [0003] However, Patent Document 1 does not consider that the data format of the corresponding print job data differs among a plurality of printing devices, and there is a possibility that a certain printing device cannot execute printing even if it obtains t...
