Problems solved by technology

[0006] While secure printing can provide a solution to this problem, in order for this to work, the user must explicitly specify the use of secure printing
This increases the manual work load for the user
[0007] In addition, although the above-mentioned problem can be solved by requiring user authentication for all print job executions, if user authentication is also required during office hours, the usability of the system is reduced

Embodiment Construction

[0017] An example hardware configuration related to control in an image forming apparatus in which the present invention can be realized will be described with reference to FIG. 1 .

[0018] The image forming apparatus is a digital multifunction machine incorporating functions of a copier, network printer, network scanner, and facsimile.

[0019] According to the control structure of the device, processor 12, LAN (local area network) interface 14, telephone network interface 16, control panel 18, ROM (read only memory) 20, main memory 22, auxiliary memory 24, scanner 26 and printing engine (print engine) 28 is connected to common bus 10.

[0020] The processor 12 controls various parts of the image forming apparatus by executing control programs stored in the ROM 20 and the auxiliary memory 24 . The main memory 22 is composed of a high-speed memory such as a semiconductor memory, and is used as a work storage area when the processor 12 executes processing. The auxiliary memo...

Abstract

An image forming apparatus is provided. In this apparatus, a control panel functions to allow a user to input an instruction. A period setting section functions to set an output inhibit period. A job control section, upon receiving a job, stores the job in a memory unit while converting the job into a stored job that is to be printed at a scheduled output time after passage of the output inhibit period, and executes printing of the stored job at the scheduled output time, if the job is not a panel-activated job and is received during the output inhibit period.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus that receives a job through a communication network and prints the job as output. Background technique [0002] In recent years, it has become common to connect image forming apparatuses such as digital printers, digital copiers, and digital multifunction machines to a LAN (Local Area Network) that can receive print jobs and facsimile transmission jobs from remote clients via the LAN. [0003] Generally, when a print job is sent from a client to an image forming apparatus to be processed, the image forming apparatus prints the print job and outputs the printed result to a tray. In this case, if the image forming apparatus is located far away from the client, the print result may be left on the print tray from the time the user sends the print job from the client until the user reaches the image forming apparatus to obtain it from the tray. The long time to print the result. This is undesirab...
