An image printing method and apparatus are provided for receiving firmware information for controlling a printing mode of a printing medium through a barcode and controlling the printing mode of the printing medium using the received firmware information. The image printing apparatus includes a sensing unit which senses a barcode for providing information on a printing medium and generating a sensing signal, an extracting unit which reads out barcode data from the sensing signal and extracts firmware information corresponding to the printing medium from the barcode data, a printing engine unit which prints an image on the printing medium, and a controlling unit which controls the printing engine unit based on the extracted firmware information.
