Printing apparatus, printing apparatus control method, and storage medium for reducing a period of time between starting of a copy process for a preset plurality of copies to when the copy process is terminated

Abstract

In general, a determination as to whether image data generated by reading an image of a document is read from a first storing unit or a second storing unit may not be made in accordance with a result of a determination as to whether printing is performed on a first set or a second set onward among sets to be printed. Accordingly, a control method in a printing apparatus includes reading a document, storing image data of the document in a first storing unit, storing the image data read from the first storing unit in a second storing unit, and performing printing based on the image data read from the first storing unit when the printing is performed on a first set and performing printing based on the image data read from the second storing unit when the printing is performed on a second set onward.
