Control apparatus, control method for control apparatus, and storage medium

A control method for a control apparatus, comprising:

• obtaining an amount of a recording material applied on a first area of a sheet and an amount of a recording material applied on a second area of the sheet on the basis of image data recorded on the sheet stacked on a stacking unit;
• and
• performing control, in a case where a plurality of sheets are stacked on the stacking unit, so that a difference between a total amount of the recording material applied on the first area of the sheets and a total amount of the recording material applied on the second area of the sheets does not exceed a predetermined value on the basis of the obtained amount of the recording material,
• wherein an orientation of the image data recorded on the sheets is changed in a case where the difference between the total amount of the recording material applied on the first area and the total amount of the recording material applied on the second area exceeds the predetermined value.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for controlling a control apparatus, the computer program comprising:

• a code to obtain an amount of a recording material applied on a first area of a sheet and an amount of a recording material applied on a second area of the sheet on the basis of image data recorded on the sheet stacked on a stacking unit;
• and
• a code to perform control, in a case where a plurality of sheets are stacked on the stacking unit, so that a difference between a total amount of the recording material applied on the first area of the sheets and a total amount of the recording material applied on the second area of the sheets does not exceed a predetermined value on the basis of the obtained amount of the recording material,
• wherein an orientation of the image data recorded on the sheets is changed in a case where the difference between the total amount of the recording material applied on the first area and the total amount of the recording material applied on the second area exceeds the predetermined value.
