A method and apparatus for acquiring print medium information and for controlling an image printing scheme are provided. The apparatus includes a sensor sensing a color barcode containing predetermined print medium information and generating a sense signal corresponding to a color of each of the color bars constituting the color bar, a determination unit determining colors and widths of the color bars based on the sense signal, a reading unit reading out color barcode data based on the determined colors and widths of the color bars, a print medium information extraction unit extracting the print medium information based on the read-out color barcode data, and a control unit controlling an image printing scheme for the print medium based on the extracted print medium information. Print medium information is contained in a color barcode, so that it is possible to provide a large amount of print medium information in comparison to a convention barcode constructed with black and white bars. As a result, a larger amount of print medium information can be contained in a limited region of the print medium.
