Abstract: A correction unit executes a correcting function for measuring at least one of position and density of a test image in response to a correction instruction and correcting an operation setting of a printing unit based on the measurement result. Print data includes correction requiring data that is required to execute the correcting function by the correction unit before an image corresponding to the correction requiring data is printed. A determining unit is configured to determine whether or not at least one of two conditions is satisfied. One condition is such that a ratio of a second numerical value represented by the correction requiring data to a first numerical value represented by the print data is less than a first reference value. Another condition is such that the second numerical value is less than a second reference value. When the determining unit determines that the at least one of two conditions is satisfied, the control unit bypasses the measurement by the correction unit even if a receiving unit receives the correction instruction.

Abstract: A printing system includes a server and a plurality of printing devices connected with the server via a network. A maximum number of printable sheets is set for each of the printing devices. Upon receipt of a print request, when determining that a remaining number of printable sheets is insufficient, a first printing device issues a transfer request to the server. In response to the transfer request, the server selects a second printing device that cedes at least part of the maximum number of printable sheets therefor, based on respective frequencies of printing operations of the printing devices other than the first printing device, and issues a transfer instruction to each of the first printing device and the second printing device, the transfer instruction causing the first and second printing devices to increase and decrease their maximum numbers of printable sheets, respectively.
