Abstract
Conditions corresponding to the type of print medium can be easily acquired when executing a printing process. A first area stores first information related to a print medium for each type of print medium. A second area stores second information, which is related to conditions used in a printing process generating print data and causing a printing mechanism to print on a print medium an image defined by the print data, relationally to first information corresponding to the type of print medium to be printed on in the printing process.
