Claim:
A print control apparatus comprising: a setting section that enables or disables a first function of sorting paper by performing longitudinal printing in which printing is performed in longitudinal orientation for paper ejection in the longitudinal orientation and lateral printing in which printing is performed in lateral orientation for paper ejection in the lateral orientation alternately, the longitudinal orientation being an orientation in which an extending direction of long edges of a sheet of paper coincides with a direction of transportation of the sheet of paper, the lateral orientation being an orientation in which the extending direction of the long edges of the sheet of paper coincides with a direction orthogonal to the transportation direction, the setting section further enabling or disabling a second function of barcode printing; and a print controlling section that controls printing in accordance with setting of each of the first function and the second function, wherein the setting section disables, when one of the first function and the second function is enabled, the other function.
