Abstract: A control method of a distribution apparatus for distributing print medium data includes specifying a first printing apparatus to be a distribution destination of first print medium data, specifying a second printing apparatus to be a distribution destination of second print medium data, executing a setting related to a distribution time, and executing a conversion process, in which second print medium data is generated by converting at least a part of first print medium data based on information related to the specified second printing apparatus, at a time based on the executed setting related to the distribution time. The first print medium data is distributed to the specified first printing apparatus based on the executed setting related to the distribution time and the second print medium data is distributed to the specified second printing apparatus based on the executed setting related to the distribution time.
