Abstract

A printing apparatus includes a determination unit configured to determine, based on a print side designated for a transparent sheet and a print side on which the printing apparatus is able to execute printing, a print side of an image to be printed on the transparent sheet and sheet feeding timing of the transparent sheet, and a printing unit configured to print the image on the transparent sheet based on a content determined by the determination unit.

Claims (32)

1. A printing apparatus comprising:

a printing unit configured to print an image on a sheet;

a receiving unit configured to receive a print job in which printing of a first page on a transparent sheet which is to be used as a cover sheet and cannot be reversed, and printing of a second page on a non-transparent sheet which can be reversed are designated; and

a control unit configured to,

(i) in a case where printing of the first page on a front side of the cover sheet is designated in the received print job, perform a first control in which the second page is printed on a front surface on the non-transparent sheet after the first page is printed on a front surface of the transparent sheet, and

(ii) in a case where printing of the first page on a back side of the cover sheet is designated in the received print job, perform a second control in which the first page is printed on a front surface of the transparent sheet after the second page is printed on a back surface of the non-transparent sheet.

2. The printing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a sheet storage unit configured to store sheets,

wherein in a case where a sheet is conveyed from the sheet storage unit without being reversed, printing by the printing unit is performed on a front surface of the conveyed sheet.

3. A printing apparatus comprising:

a printing unit configured to print an image on a sheet;

a receiving unit configured to receive a print job in which printing of a first page on a transparent sheet which is to be used as a cover sheet and cannot be reversed, and printing of a second page on a non-transparent sheet which can be reversed, are designated; and

a control unit configured to,

(i) in a case where printing of the first page on a front surface of the cover sheet is designated in the received print job, perform a first control in which the first page is printed on a back surface of the transparent sheet after the second page is printed on a back surface of the non-transparent sheet,

(ii) in a case where printing of the first page on a back surface of the cover sheet is designated in the received print job, perform a second control in which the second page is printed on a front surface of the non-transparent sheet after the first page is printed on a back surface of the transparent sheet.

4. The printing apparatus according to claim 3 , further comprising a sheet storage unit configured to store sheets,

wherein in a case where a sheet is conveyed from the sheet storage unit without being reversed, printing by the printing unit is performed on a back surface of the conveyed sheet.

5. A control method for controlling a printing apparatus that prints an image on a sheet, the control method comprising:

receiving a print job in which printing of a first page on a transparent sheet which is to be used as a cover sheet and cannot be reversed, and printing of a second page on a non-transparent sheet which can be reversed, are designated;

in a case where printing of the first page on a front surface of the cover sheet is designated in the received print job, performing a first control in which the second page is printed on a front surface of the non-transparent sheet after the first page is printed on a front surface of the transparent sheet; and

in a case where printing of the first page on a back surface of the cover sheet is designated in the received print job, performing a second control in which the first page is printed on a front surface of the transparent sheet after the second page is printed on a back surface of the non-transparent sheet.

6. A control method for controlling a printing apparatus that prints an image on a sheet, the control method comprising:

receiving a print job in which printing of a first page on a transparent sheet which is used as a cover sheet and which cannot be reversed, and printing of a second page on a non-transparent sheet which can be reversed, are designated;

in a case where printing of the first page on a front side of the cover sheet in the received print job, performing a first control in which the first page is printed on a back surface of the transparent sheet after the second page is printed on a back surface of the non-transparent sheet; and

in a case where printing of the first page on a back side of the cover sheet is designated in the received print job, performing a second control in which the second page is printed on a front surface of the non-transparent sheet after the first page is printed on a back surface of the transparent sheet.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to perform a method for controlling a printing apparatus that prints an image on a sheet, the method comprising:

receiving a print job in which printing of a first page on a transparent sheet which is used as a cover sheet and which cannot be reversed, and printing of a second page on a non-transparent sheet which can be reversed, are designated;

in a case where printing of the first page on a front surface of the cover sheet is designated in the received print job, performing a first control in which the second page is printed on a front surface of the non-transparent sheet after the first page is printed on a front surface of the transparent sheet; and

in a case where printing of the first page on a back surface of the cover sheet, performing a second control in which the first page is printed on a front surface of the transparent sheet after the second page is printed on a back surface of the non-transparent sheet.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to perform a method for controlling a printing apparatus that prints an image on a sheet, the method comprising:

receiving a print job in which printing of a first page on a transparent sheet which is used as a cover sheet and which cannot be reversed, and printing of a second page on a non-transparent sheet which can be reversed, are designated;

in a case where printing of the first page on a front side of the cover sheet is designated in the received print job, performing a first control in which the first page is printed on a back surface of the transparent sheet after the second page is printed on a back surface of the non-transparent sheet; and

in a case where printing of the first page on a back side of the cover sheet is designated in the received print job, performing a second control in which the second page is printed on a front surface of the non-transparent sheet after the first page is printed on a back surface of the transparent sheet.
