Abstract
A printing control apparatus is configured to use a recording head where a plurality of nozzles are arranged in a row formation with a predetermined pitch, and configured to perform interlace printing such that a resolution is equal to or more than a resolution that is based on the pitch when printing is performed due to ink droplets being discharged from each of the nozzles. The printing control apparatus includes a dischargeable amount acquiring section configured to determine a dischargeable amount per unit of time according to a remaining amount of ink in an ink cartridge, and a split printing control section configured to split a predetermined region in one band an odd number of times according to the dischargeable amount per unit of time, and configured to carry out interlace printing in each of split regions on an outward path and a return path.
