Abstract:
1. A printing apparatus which can execute a job in which a double-Sided page and a single-sided page are mixed, by switching between a double-sided conveying path and a single-sided convey mg path, the apparatus comprising: a specifying unit configured to specify a print prediction time in a case where the job is executed by using a first printing process of printing the double-sided page and the single-sided page in the job by using the double-sided conveying path, and a print prediction time in a case where the job is executed by using a second printing process of printing the double-sided page and the single-sided page in the job by switching between the double-sided conveying path and the single-sided conveying path; and a control configured to execute the job by using, from either the first priming process or the second printing process, the printing process for which the print prediction time specified by the specifying unit is shorter.
