Based on print information for performing printing on the target, in a case where printing satisfying a setting condition presumed such that a staying time of the liquid staying in a liquid path between the liquid supply source and the nozzles during printing is long is performed, a discharge amount of the liquid to be discharged during the maintenance processing that is performed before printing is set to be larger than a discharge amount of the liquid in a case where printing not satisfying the setting condition presumed such that the staying time is short is performed.
