Abstract

A print area is acquired from a spool file of each page, and the acquired print area is compared with a print area of a target sheet fed from a printing apparatus. It is determined whether the sheet can be replaced with a sheet smaller than a sheet size set in print data. If it is determined that the sheet can be replaced with a sheet smaller than the sheet size set in the print data, a sheet size changing screen showing information concerning replaceable sheet size candidates is displayed in a display unit. A print control command used for changing the sheet size set in drawing information that is input to a sheet size selected on the sheet size changing screen is added to the print data and the print data to which the print control command is added is transmitted to the printing apparatus.
