ABSTRACT:
The present invention operates in a printing apparatus capable of carrying out printing by switching between a mode using a set of toners for four colors Y, M, C, and K and a mode using a set of toners for six colors including the four primary colors, light cyan, and light magenta. Specifically, when a page layout included in “Page Layout” set items is set for N (N>1) sheet/page, printing is determined to be carried out in the 4 color mode to set a print specification in a job ticket for the 4 color mode. If a plurality of page units are printed within one page, each page unit is contracted when printed. Accordingly, it is often difficult to perceive printed image quality when observing the image. Thus, even if the 6 color mode is set, printing is controlled to be carried out in the 4 color mode.
