Apparatus capable of executing printing on both surfaces of a continuous sheet and printing control method for executing printing on both surfaces of a continuous sheet

A method for controlling an apparatus configured to cause a printing unit, having a printing control unit, to execute printing on a continuous sheet, the method comprising:

• causing, via the printing control unit, the printing unit to execute, in a case where a first job is a two-sided printing job and a second job is a one-sided printing job, printing of the second job subsequent to printing of the first job on a first surface of the continuous sheet;
• causing, via the printing control unit, a supplying unit to supply the printed continuous sheet to a reversal unit which reverses the continuous sheet for printing on a second surface of the continuous sheet after executing printing on the first surface of the continuous sheet;
• and
• causing, via the printing control unit, the printing unit to execute the printing of the two-sided printing job on the second surface of the printed continuous sheet,
• wherein, in a case where the first job is a two-sided printing job and the second job is a one-sided printing job and printing on the first surface of the continuous sheet of the first job is being executed by the printing unit when an instruction for printing of the second job is input by an input unit, the method further includes:
• causing, via the printing control unit, a cutter unit to cut the continuous sheet between a printed image of the first job and a printed image of the second job after causing the printing unit to begin printing of the second job;
• and
• causing, via the printing control unit, the supplying unit to supply, to the reversal unit, the continuous sheet on which the printed image of the first job has been printed.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to cause a computer to perform a method for controlling an apparatus, wherein the apparatus includes a printing control unit and is configured to cause a printing unit to execute printing on a continuous sheet, the method comprising:

• causing, via the printing control unit, the printing unit to execute, in a case where a first job is a two-sided printing job and a second job is a one-sided printing job, printing of the second job subsequent to printing of the first job on a first surface of the continuous sheet;
• causing, via the printing control unit, a supplying unit to supply the printed continuous sheet to a reversal unit which reverses the continuous sheet for printing on a second surface of the continuous sheet after executing printing on the first surface of the continuous sheet;
• and
• causing, via the printing control unit, the printing unit to execute printing of the two-sided printing job on the second surface of the printed continuous sheet,
• wherein, in a case where the first job is a two-sided printing job and the second job is a one-sided printing job and printing on the first surface of the continuous sheet of the first job is being executed by the printing unit when an instruction for printing of the second job is input by an input unit, the method further includes:
• causing, via the printing control unit, a cutter unit to cut the continuous sheet between a printed image of the first job and a printed image of the second job after causing the printing unit to begin printing of the second job;
• and
• causing, via the printing control unit, the supplying unit to supply, to the reversal unit, the continuous sheet on which the printed image of the first job has been printed.
