摘要

A printing apparatus comprising a first engine (112) for performing a print using a first print material connectable to a feed unit (126) of a second engine (125) for performing a print using a second print material is provided. The printing apparatus comprise a first controller (102) configured to control the first engine (112) and a second controller (122) configured to control the second engine (125). Power control means (154) of the second controller configured to restrict consumption power of the image processing means (124) of the second controller in a case that transmitted information for the second engine from the first controller does not include the data to be processed by the second engine.
