Claim 12:
13. A method comprising:
obtaining a job including a plurality of pages;
determining a page group constituted by consecutive sheets of a same sheet type, from the plurality of pages included in the job obtained by the obtaining; and
setting a transport speed of sheets in the page group determined by the determining,
wherein from the plurality of pages, the determining specifies a first page group constituted by consecutive sheets of a first sheet type, and a second page group that is adjacent to the first page group and that is constituted by consecutive sheets of a second sheet type different from the first sheet type, and
when a first transport speed corresponding to the first sheet type is faster than a second transport speed corresponding to the second sheet type, and a number of pages in the first page group is less than a specified number of pages, the setting sets the second transport speed for the first page group and the second page group, and when the first transport speed corresponding to the first sheet type is faster than the second transport speed corresponding to the second sheet type, and the number of pages in the first page group is greater than the specified number, the setting sets the first transport speed for the first page group and the second transport speed for the second page group.
