Patent ID: RE44552

Claim:
A printing system adapted to be able to perform suitable for a processing concerning a job to be processed by a post-processing device, the post-processing device having a movable component openable by an operator, the system comprising: a controller that enables the printing device to execute the a print process of a job to be processed even while the movable component remains open in a case that the job does not require the , and for a first post-processing device or a second post-processing device to execute a post-process by the of the job, the first post-processing device having a first cover, and the second post-processing device having a second cover, the system comprising: a controller that controls, in a case that a job requires a post-process by the second post-processing device having the open movable component, the controller inhibiting the printing device from executing the print process of a job to be processed without notifying an operator via a user interface unit of information on the open movable component in a case that the job requires the and does not require a post-process by the first post-processing device having the open movable component , the printing device to execute a print process of the job even while the first cover remains open, wherein the controller inhibits the printing device from executing the print process of the job in a case that both the first cover and the second cover are open and then the second cover remains open even after the first cover is closed, and permits the printing device to execute the print process of the job in a case that both the first cover and the second cover are open and then the second cover is closed .
