ABSTRACT:
The apparatus is brought into a printable state by selecting one print preparatory process from first and second print preparatory processes and conducting the selected print preparatory process prior to the execution of the printing operation. That is, the printing operation by means of the cartridge is enabled by conducting a print preparatory process desired by a user. Specifically, the print preparatory process is selected and conducted according to the user's desire (to produce a large volume of prints, to reduce the length of time required to become printable, or such). Therefore, the monochromatic printing in the above specific color can be efficiently performed in a manner conforming to the user's desire.
