Patent ID: 8736872

Claim:
An image forming system comprising: a print instruction terminal; and a print apparatus comprising: a first print controlling unit, a memory that is controlled by the first print controlling unit, a printing unit that prints print data instructed to be printed from the print instruction terminal and holds tray setting information, wherein the printing unit includes a feeding tray, wherein the print instruction terminal includes: a display unit that displays a first screen for setting a paper kind; a setting information receiving unit that receives setting information of the paper kind input via the first screen; and a transmitting unit that transmits the setting information received by the setting information receiving unit to the print apparatus, wherein the display unit that displays a second screen after the first screen, and the second screen includes a picture of a paper corresponding to the received setting information of the paper kind and direction information indicating a correct direction of the paper to be loaded in the feeding tray, wherein the first print controlling unit of the print apparatus receives the setting information of the paper kind sent by the transmitting unit of the print instruction terminal and stores the received setting information of the paper kind in the memory, and wherein the first print controlling unit, in response to the reception of the setting information of the paper kind and the detection of loading the paper in the feeding tray, uses the setting information of the paper kind stored in the memory as the tray setting information and controls the printing unit to print the print data instructed to be printed from the print instruction terminal based on the tray setting information, wherein the print apparatus manages a paper replacement standby mode, the paper replacement standby mode is on in response to the reception of the setting information of the paper kind, in a case that the paper replacement standby mode is on, the print apparatus performs a print control by the first print controlling unit in response to the detection of loading the paper in the feeding try, and wherein the print apparatus further includes: a receiving unit that receives the setting information of the paper kind from an operator; and a second print controlling unit that controls, in a case that the paper replacement standby mode is off, the printing unit to print the print data on the paper having the paper kind indicated by the setting information of the paper kind received by the receiving unit, and wherein, upon receiving the setting information of the paper kind transmitted by the transmitting unit, the print control by the first print controlling unit is given priority over a print control by the second print controlling unit.
