Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus which can communicate with a printing apparatus which can execute an alternating sheet feed constructed in such a manner that in advance of printing of the other side of a first medium whose one side has already been printed, a second medium is fed from a sheet feeding portion, one side of the second medium is printed, a conveying operation for duplex printing of the first medium is executed in parallel with the printing of one side of the second medium, and after completion of the printing of one side of the second medium, the first medium to which the conveying operation for the duplex printing has been executed is fed, thereby executing the duplex printing, said information processing apparatus comprising: a first output unit adapted to output print data according to print page order based on the alternating sheet feed to the printing apparatus through an interface; a first obtaining unit adapted to obtain status information of the printing apparatus; a second obtaining unit adapted to obtain situation information of the printing based on the print data; and a second output unit adapted to output the print data of a non-print page in the staying medium which has already been fed and whose one side has already been printed to the printing apparatus in order to change the print page order based on the alternating sheet feed when a print fault factor in a sheet feed of the new medium is detected on the basis of the status information obtained by said first obtaining unit.
