PRINTING OF PRINTING JOB SAVED IN IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS WITH CHANGED PRINT FORMAT
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus for generating a printing job to output data for printing, comprising:
- a job ticket generating component configured to generate a job ticket that specifies a print format and a processing method which are used to output said data for printing;
a determination component configured to analyze said job ticket to determine said processing method;
a data generating component configured to generate a printing data or a saving data depending upon a result of the determination, wherein the printing data is a data for print that reflects said print format specified by said job ticket and the saving data is a data for save that does not reflect said print format specified by said job ticket; and
a job transmitting component configured to generate and transmit a printing job, wherein the job includes said job ticket and said printing data or includes said job ticket and said saving data.

Abstract
A job ticket included in a received printing job is analyzed to determine a processing method. The job ticket specifies a print format and the processing method used to output data for printing. When the processing method is determined to be a printing and saving process, the data is outputted for printing by generating printing data based on saving data and the job ticket, and second intermediate data for reprinting is generated from first intermediate data and thus saved. The printing data is a base for the first intermediate data that is a base for data for printing, and reflects the print format. The saving data is included in the received printing job, does not reflect the print format, and is suitable for changing the print format. The second intermediate data does not reflect the print format, and is suitable for changing the print format.

6. An image forming apparatus comprising:
-
a receiving component configured to receive a printing job; a determination component configured to analyze a job ticket that specifies a print format and a processing method which are used to output data for printing to determine said processing method, wherein the received printing job includes said job ticket; and a processing component configured to generate a printing data that reflects said print format to output said data for printing and save a saving data that does not reflect said print format, when it is determined by said determination component that a specified processing method is a print and save process, based upon said saving data that does not reflect said print format and said job ticket, wherein said received printing job includes saving data. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. An information processing method of generating a printing job to output data for printing, comprising the steps of:
-
generating a job ticket that specifies a print format and a processing method which are used to output said data for printing; analyzing said job ticket to determine said processing method; generating a printing data or a saving data depending upon a result of the determination, wherein the printing data is a data for print that reflects said print format specified by said job ticket and the saving data is a data for save that does not reflect said print format specified by said job ticket; and generating and transmitting a printing job, wherein the job includes said job ticket and said printing data or includes said job ticket and said saving data.

12. A method of forming an image comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a printing job; analyzing a job ticket that specifies a print format and a processing method which are used to output data for printing to determine said processing method, wherein the received printing job includes said job ticket; and generating a printing data that reflects said print format to output said data for printing and save a saving data that does not reflect said print format, when it is determined in the analyzing step that a specified processing method is a print and save process, based upon said saving data that does not reflect said print format and said job ticket, wherein said received printing job includes saving data. - View Dependent Claims (13)

14. An image forming system comprising:
-
a job ticket generating component configured to generate a job ticket that specifies a print format and a processing method which are used to output said data for printing; a first determination component configured to analyze said job ticket to determine said processing method; a data generating component configured to generate a printing data or a saving data depending upon a result of the determination, wherein the printing data is a data for print that reflects said print format specified by said job ticket and the saving data is a data for save that does not reflect said print format specified by said job ticket; a job transmitting component configured to generate and transmit a printing job, wherein the job includes said job ticket and said printing data or includes said job ticket and said saving data; a receiving component configured to receive said printing job; a second determination component configured to analyze said job ticket included in the received printing job to determine said processing method; and a processing component configured to generate a printing data that reflects said print format to output said data for printing and save a saving data that does not reflect said print format, when it is determined by said second determination component that a specified processing method is a print and save process, based upon said saving data and said job ticket, wherein said received printing job includes saving data.
