摘要

A printing control apparatus connected to a printing apparatus operated in a standby state and a power saving state includes a reception unit that receives a printing request for causing the printing apparatus to execute printing, a generation unit that generates printing data in accordance with the printing request received by the reception unit, a determination unit that determines whether or not the printing apparatus is in the power saving state, and a transmission unit that transmits return data for returning the printing apparatus from the power saving state to the standby state before the printing data generated by the generation unit is transmitted in a case where the determination unit determines that the printing apparatus is in the power saving state, and does not transmit the return data in a case where the determination unit determines that the printing apparatus is not in the power saving state.

1. A printing control apparatus connected to a printing apparatus that is operated in at least a standby state and a power saving state in which power consumption is lower than that in the standby state, the printing control apparatus comprising:
a reception unit that receives a printing request for causing the printing apparatus to execute printing from an external apparatus; a generation unit that generates printing data in accordance with the printing request received by the reception unit; a determination unit that determines whether or not the printing apparatus is in the power saving state; and a transmission unit that transmits return data for returning the printing apparatus from the power saving state to the standby state before the printing data generated by the generation unit is transmitted in a case where the determination unit determines that the printing apparatus is in the power saving state, and does not transmit the return data in a case where the determination unit determines that the printing apparatus is not in the power saving state.
