Abstract:
1. An apparatus capable of causing a print unit to print data on a continuous sheet, the apparatus comprising: a reception unit configured to receive data of a plurality of pages to be printed by the print unit; a determination unit configured to determine whether the data of the plurality of pages received by the reception unit is to be printed on a single side of the continuous sheet or on both sides of the continuous sheet; and a print control unit configured to cause the print unit to print the data of the plurality of pages received by the reception unit on the continuous sheet in a manner such that an orientation of a front surface of each discharged sheet of duplex printing from the continuous sheet in a case of being discharged after having been printed on its both sides and an orientation of a front surface of each discharged sheet of simplex printing from the continuous sheet in a case of being discharged after having been printed on its single side is the same, wherein each discharged sheet of duplex printing and of simplex printing have the front surface and a back surface, wherein, in a case where the determination unit determines that simplex printing is to be performed, the print control unit causes the print unit to print each page to be arranged on the front surface of a discharged sheet of simplex printing first, and wherein, in a case where the determination unit determines that duplex printing is to be performed, the print control unit causes the print unit to print each page to be arranged on the back surface of a discharged sheet of duplex printing first.
