A printing data generating apparatus acquires image data; classifies, upon causing a printer to execute a printing process for printing a line in an N-th main scanning operation between lines printed in (N−1)-th or earlier main scanning operations and printing a print unit formed with a plurality of lines by performing Nmax main scanning operations, pixels on the plurality of lines into groups based on the image data such that each group includes the pixels that are to be printed in the same main scanning operation; identifies, among the groups, the group with the highest ink usage for printing the pixels of the group based on the image data; and generates, based on the image data, printing data for causing the printer to print an image represented by the image data by printing the pixels of the group with the highest ink usage in the Nmax-th main scanning operation. |
