Abstract
A printing device and a control method for a printing device can freely change the distribution of print data to the front and back sides to achieve the desired duplex printing result when operating in a duplex printing page mode that converts the print data for one page after setting the data conversion area. A conversion step (step S) sets a break length hy that divides the data conversion areainto a first data storage areafor converting the first-side print data and a second data storage areafor converting the second-side print data in the page mode, and then converts the print data. A print step (step S) then simultaneously prints the first-side or front print data that is converted into the conversion area before the break, and the second-side or back print data that is converted into the conversion area after the break.
