Print control apparatus, print control method, and storage medium

Abstract

It is determined whether printing of an image having a size corresponding to a preset size set as print settings for data to be printed on a print medium is allowed based on the preset size and one or more candidates of the size of the print medium obtained by detecting the size of the print medium using a sensor. If it is determined that the printing is allowed, a screen inquiring whether an image based on the data to be printed having a size corresponding to the preset size is printed is displayed. If the printing is instructed via the screen, the image is printed on the print medium.

         10 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a reading unit configured to read an original, and the image is a read image obtained by reading of the original by the reading unit. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein an inputting unit configured to input the image transmitted from an external device, and the print unit prints the image input by the inputting unit. 
     
     
         12 . A printing apparatus, comprising:
 a display unit, and   a print unit configured to print an image,   
       wherein the display unit displays a first screen for a user to designate a size of a print medium, if a cassette for containing the print medium is operated,
 and wherein, if a setting medium size set as a print setting for printing of an image is different from a designated size which has been designated in the first screen, the display unit further displays a second screen, and wherein the display unit further displays a first display item for executing the printing and a second display item for inhibiting the printing can be selected by the user, in accordance with an instruction by the user to the second screen, 
 and wherein the print unit prints the image if the first display item is designated by the user, and does not print the image if the second display item is designated by the user. 
 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus according to  claim 12 , wherein the display unit further displays a third display item for prompting a user to change the print medium contained in the cassette, if the setting medium size is different from the designated size. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus according to  claim 12 , wherein the display unit displays the first display item and the second display item in a same screen.
