Abstract
In cross control in sub-scanning (LF) and main scanning (CR), to avoid the risk of skew printing and increase the processing speed, a supposed settling time in the next sub-scanning cycle is obtained on the basis of the history information of the sub-scanning settling time of a printing apparatus, and a supposed idle time from the start of the next main scanning driving cycle to the start of printing is obtained on the basis of the history information of the main scanning acceleration required time. It is determined using the supposed settling time and supposed idle time whether cross control in which main scanning driving starts before the end of sub-scanning driving can be executed in next print scanning processing. If it is possible, the time difference from the start of sub-scanning driving to the start of main scanning driving is determined using the supposed settling time and the supposed idle time.
