Claim:
An information processing apparatus comprising: a determination unit configured to determine whether or not a ratio of an image region in a page is equal to or larger than a threshold value; a control unit configured to control a printer to print the image on a sheet without inserting a slip sheet when the determination unit determines the ratio of the image in the page to be smaller than the threshold value and to print the image on the sheet with inserting the slip sheet when the determination unit determines the ratio of the image in the page to be equal to or larger than the threshold value; and a second determination unit configured to determine whether the slip sheet is inserted for a previous page during double-sided printing, wherein the control unit controls the printer to print the image on the sheet without inserting the slip sheet when the second determination unit determines that the slip page is inserted for the previous page, controls the printer to print the image on the sheet without inserting the slip sheet when the second determination unit determines that the slip sheet is not inserted for the previous page and the determination unit determines that the ratio of the image in the page is not equal to or larger than the threshold value, and controls the printer to print the image on the sheet with inserting the slip sheet when the second determination unit determines that the slip page is not inserted for the previous page and the determination unit determines that the ratio of the image in the page is equal to or larger than the threshold value.
