An image printing apparatus and a controlling method thereof capable of outputting optimum images adjusted in accordance with characteristics of the printing material used, including: a photosensitive section for forming a latent electrostatic image; a charging section for charging the photosensitive section; an exposing section for forming the latent electrostatic image of a certain pattern by projecting a laser beam onto the photosensitive section which is charged by the charging section, and by selectively eliminating any residue of electric charge of the photosensitive section; a developing section for developing the latent electrostatic image by applying a developer onto the latent electrostatic image formed on the photosensitive section; a transferring/fixing section for transferring the image developed by the developing section to a printing material; a printing material feeding section for sequentially supplying the printing material to the transferring/fixing section; a data reading section for reading printing material data recorded on the printing material which is fed by the printing material feeding section; and a controlling section for controlling the above components of the image printing apparatus, and for determining the printability of the printing material based on the data about the printing material which are read by the data reading section, and when the printing material is determined as being acceptable, for setting functional set values for the respective above components of the image printing apparatus in accordance with the characteristics of the printing material to output optimum images. Since controlling parameters for the respective components are reset in accordance with the characteristics of the printing material, optimum images can be fully guaranteed when printing the printing material.
