Abstract

Where any one of a plurality of print jobs is not normally executable due to a cause such as run-out of paper, the print job which is not normally executable is suspended, and another print job is successively executed. Thereby, even where any one of a plurality of print jobs is not normally executable, another print job can be successively executed without interrupting the operation of a copying machine.
