Abstract
An apparatus for, a method of, and a computer-readable recording medium for controlling printing in a multi function product. If a determination is made that a sub-controller is rendering second printing data when rendering of first printing data is requested and the rendering of the second printing data will take longer than a first predetermined time, a main controller is requested to render the first printing data. If the main controller is idle or will be available within a second predetermined time, the sub-controller provides the first data to the main controller for rendering and the main controller renders the first printing data. If the main controller is not idle and will not be available within the predetermined time, a new determination is made and the process repeats until one of the sub-controller and the main controller renders the first data.
