Abstract
A print control apparatus controls at least one printer including a first printing mechanism to perform a first printing process with a first paint and a second printing mechanism to perform a second printing process with a second paint. The print control apparatus includes circuitry configured to set, based on an operation performed by a user, a print order in which the first printing process and the second printing process are executed, generate a print job based on the print order, acquire device information representing relative positions of the first printing mechanism and the second printing mechanism, determine whether the print job is executable in one pass printing based on the print order and the device information, and notify the user of information indicating whether the one pass printing is executable.
