<p>The number of sheets, corresponding to a single copy, to be discharged to at least one of a plurality of discharging destinations is determined on the basis of an input print job when printing operation based on the print job is to be executed by a printing unit (102, 105, 106). The number of discharging destinations required for discharging the determined number of sheets is determined. Multiple discharging destinations located closest to each other, among the plurality of discharging destinations to which the sheets are dischargeable, are selected as discharging destinations for the sheets having undergone the printing operation based on the print job if the determined number of discharging destinations is a multiple value. In this case, the multiple discharging destinations are selected before the printing unit begins the printing operation based on the print job.
