Abstract

A printing system adapted to be able to supply printed materials from a printing apparatus to a first stacking unit of a first sheet processing apparatus and a second stacking unit of a second sheet processing apparatus, the system comprising a receiver and controller, the receiver receiving via a user interface unit a specified instruction that allows the printing system to perform a first type operation, the first type operation being an operation that both the first stacking unit and the second stacking unit can be used in printing of a job to be processed, the controller causing the printing apparatus to perform the first type operation in a case where the specified instruction is received, the controller causing the printing apparatus to perform a second type operation in a case where the specified instruction is not received, the second type operation being an operation that one of the first stacking unit and the second stacking unit can be used in printing of a job to be processed.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates to a printing system adapted to be able to supply materials printed by a printing apparatus to either the destination of the first sheet processing apparatus or that of the second sheet processing apparatus, and a control method therefor.

[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art

[0004] Recently, a POD (Print On Demand) printing system using an electrophotographic or inkjet printing apparatus has been proposed (see, e.g., patent reference 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-310746, and patent reference 2: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-310747).

[0005] In the POD environment, there is a dolly-attached sheet processing apparatus also called a large-volume stacker which outputs many printed materials and assumes the use of a sheet processing apparatus. There are also prepared a printing apparatus capable of connecting a plurality of large-volume stackers, and a printing apparatus connected to e...
