Abstract
A reference mark is recorded in an area between one image and the next image sequentially printed on a first surface of a continuous sheet. In a print on a second surface of the sheet, the recorded reference mark is read, and a print position of the image on a second surface of the sheet is set. A plurality of images are sequentially printed on the second surface on the basis of this setting.

A method of performing duplex printing, comprising:
- printing a plurality of images on a first surface of a sheet, wherein the sheet is continuous;
- recording a reference mark in an area between one image and the next image sequentially printed on the first surface;
- reversing the sheet where the plurality of images are printed on the first surface;
- reading the reference mark recorded on the first surface of the reversed sheet;
- setting a position to be printed of an image on a second surface which is a back of the first surface, on the basis of the reading of the reference mark;
- and
- printing a plurality of images on the second surface.
