Image processing apparatus, method for controlling the same, and storage medium

A method for controlling an image processing apparatus, comprising:

• inputting image data of a plurality of pages;
• setting fixed page image data, as image data of a plurality of consecutive pages whose relationship is to be fixed, among the input image data;
• calculating a number of pages of image data corresponding to blank pages that are present between the fixed page image data;
• and
• preventing image data corresponding to all blank pages existing between the fixed page image data from being printed when the number of calculated pages is an even number, and preventing image data corresponding to an even number of blank pages existing between the fixed page image data from being printed when the number of calculated pages is an odd number.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that cause a computer to control an image processing apparatus, the computer-readable instructions comprising:

• instructions for inputting image data of a plurality of pages;
• instructions for setting fixed page image data, as image data of a plurality of consecutive pages whose relationship is to be fixed, among the input image data;
• instructions for calculating a number of pages of image data corresponding to blank pages that are present between the fixed page image data;
• and
• instructions for preventing image data corresponding to all blank pages existing between the fixed page image data from being printed when the number of calculated pages is an even number, and preventing image data corresponding to an even number of blank pages existing between the fixed page image data from being printed when the number of calculated pages is an odd number.
