Abstract:
An apparatus and method for a printing system is provided which determines whether image data input by execution of an input job is a blank and, in a case where the image data is determined to be a blank, the printing system records information indicating the determination of a blank as history information of the input job. Thus, in a case where image data input by execution of an input job is not output by execution of an output job, the user is able to easily confirm the cause of the output failure of the input image data.

Claim (Index 1):
An image processing apparatus comprising:\n a holding unit configured to hold image data; an executing unit configured to execute a first job for inputting image data and holding the input image data in the holding unit, and a second job for not outputting the image data input by execution of the first job, in a case where the input image data is a blank, and for outputting the image data input by the execution of the first job, in a case where the input image data is not a blank; a storing unit configured to store history information of a job executed by the executing unit on a job basis; and a control unit configured to, according to the execution of the first job by the executing unit, store the image data held in the holding unit by the execution of the first job together with information indicating whether the image data is a blank in the storing unit as history information of the first job, and, according to execution of the second job by the executing unit, not to store image data output by the execution of the second job in the storing unit as history information of the second job, and to store information for referring to image data held in the holding unit by the execution of the first job corresponding to the second job in the storing unit as history information of the second job.
