The management unit includes a first derivation unit that derives a first life time consumption rate of the non-volatile memory based on the cumulative number of printed sheets of print media printed with a printing unit, and a second derivation unit that derives a second life time consumption rate of the non-volatile memory based on the number of times of rewriting operations of the non-volatile memory. The management unit controls a capacity allocated to a spool buffer to be defined in the non-volatile memory based on a result of comparison between the second life time consumption rate and the first life time consumption rate.
