Image output apparatus and control method therefor

A control method for an image output apparatus which can perform entire-surface printing of printing an image on an entire surface of a printing medium and normal printing of printing an image while leaving a margin, has a printing unit which prints on two sides of the printing medium, and prints an image on the printing medium on the basis of a print request, comprising

• controlling the printing unit to print image data on one side of the printing medium and print information to be printed together with the image data on the other side of the printing medium if the print request requests the entire-surface printing and to print the image data on one side of the printing medium and print the information to be printed together with the image data in a margin of the one side of the printing medium if the print request requests the normal printing.

A program for causing a computer to execute a control method for an image output apparatus which can perform entire-surface printing of printing an image on an entire surface of a printing medium and normal printing of printing an image while leaving a margin, has a printing unit which prints on two sides of the printing medium, and prints an image on the printing medium on the basis of a print request, comprising

• a control module which controls the printing unit to print image data on one side of the printing medium and print information to be printed together with the image data on the other side of the printing medium if the print request requests the entire-surface printing and to print the image data on one side of the printing medium and print the information to be printed together with the image data in a margin of the one side of the printing medium if the print request requests the normal printing.

A computer-readable recording medium which stores a program for causing a computer to execute a control method for an image output apparatus which can perform entire-surface printing of printing an image on an entire surface of a printing medium and normal printing of printing an image while leaving a margin, has a printing unit which prints on two sides of the printing medium, and prints an image on the printing medium on the basis of a print request,

• wherein the program comprises a control module which controls the printing unit to print image data on one side of the printing medium and print information to be printed together with the image data on the other side of the printing medium if the print request requests the entire-surface printing and to print the image data on one side of the printing medium and print the information to be printed together with the image data in a margin of the one side of the printing medium if the print request requests the normal printing.
