Abstract
When sequentially receiving pages one by one from the outside and printing them at the time of printing based on printing data including a plurality of pages, a page count per copy when printing a plurality of copies is acquired, and data of a predetermined portion of a printing area are extracted from respective pages by the page count. It is determined whether the data of the extracted predetermined portion is identical between the respective pages. When it is determined that the data is identical, it is determined that printing of the printing data is not collation printing.
