Print system system for displaying a preview for a job containing a plurality of different roll media

A control apparatus that can communicate with a printing apparatus equipped with a plurality of feeding units including a first feeding unit and a second feeding unit each of which is able to feed a continuous print medium having different widths from each other, the control apparatus comprising one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media operating as:

• an acquisition unit configured to acquire print medium information about a print medium fed from each of the feeding units provided in the printing apparatus;
• an allocation unit configured to perform allocating processing that allocate, based on the acquired print medium information and setting information set for each of a plurality of pages included in a print job, each of the pages to a print medium fed from any one of the feeding units;
• a preview unit configured to display a preview in which an image representing a page allocated to a first print medium fed from the first feeding unit is laid out on an image representing the first print medium and a preview in which an image representing a page allocated to a second print medium being different from the first print medium and fed from the second feeding unit is laid out on an image representing the second print medium;
• and
• a generation unit configured to generate, based on a result of the allocation, print data processible by the printing apparatus,
• wherein, in the allocating processing for a page in the print job, in a case where each of a width of the first print medium fed from the first feeding unit and a width of the second print medium fed from the second feeding unit is larger than a width of the page, the allocation unit allocates the page to one of the first print medium and the second print medium which has a smaller width.

A print system including a printing apparatus and a control apparatus, the printing apparatus being equipped with a plurality of feeding units including a first feeding unit and a second feeding unit each of which is able to feed a continuous print medium having different widths from each other, the control apparatus being configured to communicate with the printing apparatus, the print system comprising one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media operating as:

• an acquisition unit configured to acquire print medium information about a print medium fed from each of the feeding units provided in the printing apparatus;
• an allocation unit configured to perform allocating processing that allocate, based on the acquired print medium information and setting information set for each of a plurality of pages included in a print job, each of the pages to a print medium fed from any one of the feeding units among the plurality of the feeding units;
• a preview unit configured to display a preview in which an image representing a page allocated to a first print medium fed from the first feeding unit is laid out on an image representing the first print medium and a preview in which an image representing a page allocated to a second print medium being different from the first print medium and fed from the second feeding unit is laid out on an image representing the second print medium;
• a generation unit configured to generate print data based on a result of the allocation and in accordance with the print job;
• and
• a printing unit configured to perform printing based on the print data,
• wherein, in the allocating processing for a page in the print job, in a case where each of a width of the first print medium fed from the first feeding unit and a width of the second print medium fed from the second feeding unit is larger than a width of the page, the allocation unit allocates the page to one of the first print medium and the second print medium which has a smaller width.
