Abstract:
1. A printing system comprising: a printing control apparatus; and an image processing apparatus configured to receive a job transmitted by the printing control unit; and wherein the image processing apparatus includes a notification unit configured to notify information indicating that preparation for transition to a power saving status is completed, to the printing control apparatus, a receiving unit configured to receive an instruction permitting transition to a power saving status from the printing control apparatus, and a power control unit configured to cause a power status of the image processing apparatus to proceed to a power saving status in response to reception of an instruction permitting transition to the power saving status; and wherein the printing control apparatus includes a job receiving unit configured to receive a job to be transmitted to the image processing apparatus, a storage unit configured to store a plurality of received jobs, a judging unit configured to judge whether or not a job to be preferentially transmitted to the image processing apparatus exists among the plurality of received jobs stored in the storage unit after receiving information indicating that preparation of transition to a power saving status is completed from the image processing apparatus, a job transmitting unit configured to transmit, in a case where the judging unit judges that a job to be preferentially transmitted to the image processing apparatus exists, the job to the image processing apparatus with priority over a job stored in the storage unit before the job, and a transmitting unit configured to transmit, in a case where the judging unit judges that no job to be preferentially transmitted to the image processing apparatus exists, an instruction permitting transition to a power saving status to the image processing apparatus.
