ABSTRACT:
It is an object of the invention to provide print control apparatus and method such that at the time of a document processing in a non-recording mode, a recording medium is not left on a feed path. To accomplish the above object, only for a period of time during which a print menu is displayed on a display, when the recording medium is detected on a sheet sensor on the feed port side, a feed motor is rotated, thereby feeding the recording medium to a predetermined position. At a time point when the print menu is finished, when the recording medium is detected on the sheet sensor on the feed port side, the recording medium is delivered and the print menu is finished after that.
