Abstract
In an image output apparatus which can perform entire-surface printing and both-sided printing, if an instruction to print additional information together with an image is issued or printing of the additional information together with the image is set, it is determined whether to perform entire-surface printing or normal printing. In the case of entire-surface printing, the additional information is printed on the back surface while in the case of normal printing, the additional information is printed outside an image printing area. This makes it possible to print the additional information of an image to be printed and output at a position which does not overlap the image.
