  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a reserved job list display screen by the remote operation panel function. As described above, the operation panel screen 110 of the remote operation panel function as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed by operating the start key 105 from the display screen 100 by the status monitor function or by operating the display key by pop-up. Can be made. By operating this operation panel screen 110, a list 111 of reserved jobs of the image forming apparatus can be displayed. Here, an example of a job list related to printing is shown, but a job list for a scanner or a fax can be displayed in the same manner.

  The user can edit the reserved job displayed on the operation panel screen 110, such as deleting, changing, and moving the reserved job. For example, the second job 112 in the list having a waiting status can be selected, and the selected job 112 can be deleted or its printing conditions can be changed. Alternatively, an editing operation such as changing the reservation order (processing order) of the selected job or moving it as a job of another image forming apparatus can be performed.

  In job editing, for example, the reservation order can be changed by dragging and dropping the selected job and moving it to a desired position in the list. Alternatively, by simultaneously displaying the operation panels of a plurality of image forming apparatuses on the display 37 of the image monitoring apparatus 30, the selected job is moved to a position in a desired reservation order on the operation panels of other image forming apparatuses. It is also possible to move jobs between image forming apparatuses. Also, at this time, by assigning status information such as interrupt prohibition and priority to the reserved job, when changing the order of reserved jobs or moving jobs between image forming devices, Interrupt processing can be restricted. The job editing process is not limited to such an example, and various editing operations can be executed as appropriate.

  Further, in the embodiment according to the present invention, when an operation for deleting a specific job is performed on the list of reserved jobs of the image forming apparatus displayed on the display 37 of the image monitoring apparatus 30, the job is registered. The image monitoring apparatus 30 can be notified that the job has been deleted.

  In this case, the image forming apparatuses 10 and 20 in the network can receive jobs from a plurality of image monitoring apparatuses 30 connected to the network. A list of reserved jobs is created and held in order to process the received jobs in order. Each job holds information that can identify the image monitoring device 30 that has instructed the job.

  When the operation panel of the specific image forming apparatuses 10 and 20 is monitored by the specific image monitoring apparatus 30, jobs instructed from a plurality of image monitoring apparatuses 30 can be mixed in the reserved job list. Therefore, when the user deletes an arbitrary job in the image monitoring device 30, the image monitoring device 30 acquires the identification information of the image monitoring device 30 associated with the deleted job, and the acquired identification information is included in the acquired identification information. Information indicating that the job has been deleted is transmitted to the corresponding image monitoring apparatus 30. When the image monitoring apparatus 30 that has instructed the job is the same as the image monitoring apparatus 30 that has been operated to delete the job, such processing is not necessary.

Upon receiving the information indicating that the job has been deleted, the image monitoring apparatus 30 displays that fact on the display 37 and allows the user to recognize the deletion of the job.
At this time, the image monitoring apparatus 30 may pop-up information indicating that the job has been deleted. Thus, regardless of what screen display is being performed on the display 37 of the image monitoring device 30, when a job is deleted in another image monitoring device 30, the user is immediately notified by a pop-up display. be able to.

  As described above, when an operation for deleting a job is performed, the image monitoring apparatus 30 instructing the job can know that the job instructed by itself has been deleted. At this time, the printer driver of the image monitoring apparatus 30 holds spool data for image formation in a storage unit such as an HDD. In this case, when it is known that the job has been deleted, the spool data is also deleted, so that it is not necessary to delete the spool data separately from the job deletion.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining an example of processing in the image forming system according to the present invention. Here, the process will be described using the specific image monitoring device 30 and the specific image forming device 10 as examples.
First, a job is transmitted from the image monitoring apparatus 30 to a specific image forming apparatus 10 (step S1). If there is no paper designated by the job in the image forming apparatus 10 (step S2-Yes), a pop-up display is performed on the display screen of the status monitor to alert the user (step S3). When the user performs an operation for selecting the pop-up display (step S4-Yes), or when the activation key set on the display screen of the status monitor function is selected without selecting the pop-up display (step S4- No, step S5-Yes), the image monitoring device 30 activates the remote operation panel function (step S6).

Next, the image monitoring apparatus 30 acquires the identification information of the image forming apparatus 10 that has been the display target of the status monitor function (step S7). Then, the display information of the operation panel is acquired from the image forming apparatus 10 corresponding to the identification information, and the display screen is changed to the display screen by the remote operation panel function (step S8).
On the display screen by the remote operation panel function, a list of reserved jobs of the image forming apparatus is displayed according to the user operation, and the job is edited according to the user operation (step S9). Job editing includes deletion, content (printing condition) change, and movement of the job selected by the user as described above.

  In steps S7 to S8 described above, a process of acquiring user authentication information and transitioning to a display screen by a remote operation function may be performed. For example, when user authentication is required when opening the display screen by the remote operation function, the user authentication information used for the status monitor function is acquired when the remote operation panel function is activated in step S6. The user authentication information can be used to authenticate the remote operation panel function and log in as it is. In other words, it is possible to automatically log in to the remote operation panel function using the user authentication information of the status monitor and shift to the display screen.

Then, after the transition to the display screen by the remote operation panel function in step S8, if it is necessary to change the state of the image forming apparatus 10 by job editing operation, the state is changed in the image forming apparatus (step S9). For example, when a paper feed tray or a discharge tray designated by a job is changed, the image forming apparatus 10 can use the designated paper feed tray or the discharge tray by switching the paper conveyance path.
Then, in the image monitoring device 30, when the information on the display screen of the status monitor function is updated (step S10-Yes), the display information by the status monitor function is changed (step S11). The display change includes, for example, a change in paper type as a printing condition, and a movement or deletion of the job itself. When the job processing is completed in the image forming apparatus (step S12), a series of processing ends.
