Abstract

A printing control system includes: operation means configured to enter a first printing condition including the number of page images to be printed on one side or both sides of one printing sheet; and control means. The control means determines whether or not the first printing condition corresponds to any one of plural change inhibited printing conditions preset and then sets the first printing condition as a final printing condition when the first printing condition is determined as corresponding to any one of the change inhibited printing conditions while causing the display means to display one or more second printing conditions each providing a higher ratio of reduction in the usage of printing sheets than the first printing condition when the first printing condition is determined as not corresponding to any one of the change inhibited printing conditions.
