Abrégé

An acquisition portion of a pretreatment control apparatus acquires identification information capable of identifying a treatment medium (step S1). A first transmission portion transmits a pretreatment instruction based on the identification information to a pretreatment device which performs a pretreatment with respect to the treatment medium (step S13). A second transmission portion transmits a transmission instruction for identified print data based on the identification information, to a storage device which stores print data (step S3). As a result, the pretreatment control apparatus can transmit the pretreatment instruction and the identified print data by acquiring a single piece of identification information. Therefore, the number of processing steps by the pretreatment control apparatus is fewer than when the pretreatment instruction and the identified print data are transmitted by acquiring different information.

A printer has a function of restricting a number of printing during a particular period for each user ID. When printing is performed, a computer updates a counter value of the number of printing associated with a user ID corresponding to the printing, and restricts printing corresponding to the user ID when the counter value reaches an upper limit. When an individual operator is operated in an administrator PC, the computer initializes the counter value associated with the user ID corresponding the individual operator.

Abrégé

A reciprocating mechanism reciprocates by drive force from a drive source and to press a chute to move from a first position to a second position. In response to determining that a parameter is greater than a threshold for the parameter, a controller executes a first mode of actuating the drive source when conveying one sheet. The parameter decreases as a conveyance speed of the sheet at the fixing nip increases. The threshold is such a value that, when the parameter is greater than the threshold, a difference between a conveyance speed of the sheet at a transfer nip and the conveyance speed of the sheet at the fixing nip is greater than a particular level. In response to determining that the parameter is smaller than or equal to the threshold, the controller executes a second mode of not actuating the drive source when conveying one sheet.

A printing apparatus includes a controller configured to perform a storage printing process that includes receiving a print job containing a first user name, storing the print job in a memory, and performing printing based on the stored print job when the first user name matches a second user name after accepting the second user name input via the user interface. When a cancel instruction has been input via the user interface while the printing based on the stored print job is being performed in the storage printing process, the controller cancels the printing based on the stored print job. While a display is displaying that the print job is being received, the controller continues the storage printing process, without canceling the receipt of the print job based on an input of a cancel instruction via the user interface.

A chute is located between a transfer roller and a fuser in a direction crossing both a first direction along a drum axis direction and a second direction crossing the first direction. The chute causes a sheet having passed through a transfer nip to be directed toward a fixing nip. The chute is movable in the second direction between a first position and a second position shifted from the first position toward one side in the second direction. The chute located at the second position is farther away from an imaginary plane passing through the nips than the chute located at the first position. A reciprocating mechanism is located on an other side of the chute in the second direction. The reciprocating mechanism reciprocates by drive force from the drive source and presses the chute to move between the first position and the second position.
