ABSTRACT:
A print configuration is set to a folder in accordance with a user instruction. When an operation of inputting a file into the folder is detected, the file is managed. A determination is made as to whether each of a plurality of managed files has a predetermined type and is inputted into the folder in a predetermined order defined by the predetermined type. In a case where it is determined that each of the managed files has the predetermined type and is inputted into the folder in the predetermined order, the managed files are merged in the predetermined order to generate print data to be outputted to a print device for printing according to the print configuration. The generated print data is transmitted to the print device.
