Printing control apparatus and printing control method

A method for controlling a printing apparatus configured to execute printing on a continuous sheet by using a printing unit, the printing apparatus including a reversal unit configured to reverse, in executing printing by the printing unit on both surfaces of, the continuous sheet to execute printing on a second surface of the continuous sheet after executing printing on a first surface of the continuous sheet, the method comprising:

• inputting an instruction for interruption printing while executing printing by the printing unit;
• and
• controlling, if the printing on the first surface of the continuous sheet is currently executed by the printing unit set to execute two-sided printing of a preceding job on the continuous sheet, in a case where an instruction for interruption printing is input, the printing unit to execute the interruption printing according to the instruction for the interruption printing input subsequent to the printing on the first surface of the continuous sheet based on the preceding job, and controlling the printing apparatus to supply the printed continuous sheet to the reversal unit,
• wherein controlling includes
• executing, if the instruction for the interruption printing input is to execute printing on both surfaces of the continuous sheet, control for executing the printing on the first surface of the continuous sheet according to the instruction for the interruption printing, subsequently to the printing on the first surface of the continuous sheet of the preceding job,
• controlling the printing apparatus to supply the printed continuous sheet to the reversal unit, and
• controlling the printing unit to execute printing on the second surface of the preceding job and the interruption printing.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which cause a computer to realize a printing apparatus configured to execute printing on a continuous sheet by using a printing unit, the printing apparatus including a reversal unit configured to reverse, in executing printing by the printing unit on both surfaces of the continuous sheet, the continuous sheet to execute printing on a second surface of the continuous sheet after executing printing on a first surface of the continuous sheet, and cause the computer to perform a method, the method comprising:

• inputting an instruction for interruption printing while executing printing by the printing unit;
• and
• controlling, if the printing on the first surface of the continuous sheet is currently executed by the printing unit set to execute two-sided printing of a preceding job on the continuous sheet, in a case where an instruction for interruption printing is input, the printing unit to execute the interruption printing according to the instruction for the interruption printing input subsequent to the printing on the first surface of the continuous sheet based on the preceding job, and controlling the printing apparatus to supply the printed continuous sheet to the reversal unit,
• wherein controlling includes
• executing, if the instruction for the interruption printing input is to execute printing on both surfaces of the continuous sheet, control for executing the printing on the first surface of the continuous sheet according to the instruction for the interruption printing, subsequently to the printing on the first surface of the continuous sheet of the preceding job,
• controlling the printing apparatus to supply the printed continuous sheet to the reversal unit, and
• controlling the printing unit to execute printing on the second surface of the preceding job and the interruption printing.
