Abstract
A print control apparatus receives a request for printing that contains a binding direction at the time of case binding using a signature, and determines whether the binding direction contained in the received request is a predetermined binding direction. The print control apparatus performs imposition processing so as to achieve a predetermined folding direction of the signature and issues an instruction to carry out the printing if the received binding direction is determined to be the predetermined binding direction, and performs the imposition processing in such a manner that a folding direction of the signature matches the predetermined folding direction of the signature and also issues an instruction to carry out the printing so as to reverse an order of discharging paper if the received binding direction is determined not to be the predetermined binding direction.
