<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively output a job in which a double-sided page and a single-sided page are mixed by using a double-sided conveying path and a single-sided conveying path or the single-sided conveying path. <P>SOLUTION: The printing apparatus that can execute a the job in which a double-sided page and a single-sided page are mixed by switching the double-sided conveying path with the single-sided conveying path includes: a calculating means for calculating a print prediction time in a case where the job is executed by using a first printing process of printing the double-sided page and the single-sided page in the job by using the double-sided conveying path, and a print prediction time in a case where the job is executed by using a second printing process of printing the double-sided page and the single-sided page in the job by switching between the double-sided conveying path and the single-sided conveying path; and a control unit for executing the job by using, from either the first printing process or the second printing process, the printing process for which the calculated print prediction time is shorter by the calculating means. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
