A print control apparatus to cause a print unit to execute a print on both faces of a continuous sheet, the print control apparatus comprising: a decision unit configured to decide, in response to the print control apparatus receiving instructions to execute the print on both faces of the continuous sheet, a first print order specifying an arrangement of first face images to be printed on a first face of the continuous sheet and an arrangement of second face images to be printed on a second face of the continuous sheet that is opposite to the first face; a print control unit configured to cause the print unit to execute a continuous print of images that are predetermined to be arranged on the first face of the continuous sheet and to cause the print unit to execute a continuous print of images that are predetermined to be arranged on the second face of the continuous sheet after completion of the print on the first face in accordance with the print order decided by the decision unit; and a determination unit configured to determine whether an interruption factor occurs during the print executed by the print unit, wherein, after an image already is printed on the first face and in a case where the determination unit determines that the interruption factor occurs before the completion of the print on the first face, the print control unit changes the first print order decided by the decision unit to a second print order and performs a control to switch to a print on the second face and to cause the print unit to execute, according to the second print order, a print of each second face image that is predetermined to be arranged on the second face relative to a first face image already printed on the first face before the completion of the print on the first face, and wherein at least one of the decision unit and the determination unit are implemented by at least one processing unit in the print control apparatus.
