Claim Text:
1. A printing apparatus comprising: a printing data storing unit that stores received printing data; and a printing order adjusting unit that adjusts an order of printing of printing data received through short-range radio communication to be higher than an order of printing of printing data stored in the printing data storing unit, wherein in a case where printing of second printing data is scheduled to be performed after completion of printing of first printing data and printing data is received through the short-range radio communication during the printing of the first printing data, the printing order adjusting unit causes printing of the printing data received through the short-range radio communication to be performed prior to the printing of the second printing data, wherein the short-range radio communication is communication using a network that is used by a user who is not authorized to be connected to a primary network that transmits the received printing data to be stored, wherein when printing data that is currently printing is non-authentication printing, the printing data received through the short-range radio communication is placed in the order immediately after the currently printing data, and wherein when printing data that is currently printing is authentication printing and printing data immediately after the currently printing data in the order is also authentication printing, the printing data received through the short-range communication is place in the order subsequent to the printing data immediately after the current printing data.
