Abstract:
A printing apparatus capable of conveying sheets to a sheet processing apparatus and to control the type of a sheet to be used as a cover sheet in a case where a book bound product is generated by switching back sheets each having an image printed, inverting the sheets and folding the inverted sheets, and to notify an error to a user based on the type of a sheet to be used as the cover sheet in a case where printing an image on the cover sheet is designated.

Claim (Index 1):
A printing apparatus capable of conveying sheets printed with images to a sheet processing apparatus which is capable of discharging a plurality of sheets printed with images to a first discharge portion without reversing the plurality of sheets and without executing a saddle stitch bookbinding process, and discharging a plurality of sheets printed with images to a second discharge portion by reversing the plurality of sheets and executing a saddle stitch bookbinding process, the printing apparatus comprising:\n a printing unit configured to print an image on a sheet; an operating unit configured to receive a designation of the saddle stitch bookbinding process; and a control unit configured to determine whether the number of sheets to be printed in a single copy exceeds a predetermined number or not when the operating unit receives a designation of the saddle stitch bookbinding process, wherein in a case where it is determined that the number of sheets to be printed exceeds the predetermined number, the control unit controls the printing unit so as to convey the plurality of sheets including a cover sheet and sheets used as text which are discharged to the first discharge portion, to the sheet processing apparatus in an order from sheets used as text and a cover sheet, and controls the printing unit to print an image on each sheet in a first printing order, and in a case where it is determined that the number of sheets to be printed doesn't exceeds the predetermined number, the control unit controls the printing unit so as to convey the plurality of sheets including a cover sheet and sheets used as text which are discharged to the second discharge portion, to the sheet processing apparatus in an order from sheets used as text and a cover sheet, and controls the printing unit to print an image on each sheet in a second printing order which is different from the first printing order.
