Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A controlling apparatus, which controls a first printing apparatus that prints an image on a continuous sheet and a second printing apparatus that prints on the continuous sheet on a downstream side in a conveyance direction of the continuous sheet, stores a printing state of the first printing apparatus and a second printing apparatus. When an error is detected in the first printing apparatus, conveyance of the continuous sheet is suspended, and occurrence position of the error is specified. When it is detected that the error is solved, and conveyance of the continuous sheet is restarted, control is performed such that the second printing apparatus performs printing on the continuous sheet on which printing has been finished by the first printing apparatus before the detection of the error, based on the specified occurrence position of the error.
