1. A printing apparatus comprising:
a non-transitory computer readable medium that stores first print data, a first print setting applied to printing of the first print data, second print data different from the first print data, and a second print setting applied to printing of the second print data;
a processing circuit including
a guiding section that
determines whether or not the first print setting and the second print setting for the first print data and the second print data which are selected as a target of collective printing are consistent with each other by comparing the first print setting and the second print setting, and
when the first print data and the second print data are selected as the target of collective printing and when the first print setting and the second print setting are determined to be inconsistent with each other, provides a user with a first procedure for making the first print setting and the second print setting consistent with each other, and
a printing section that that causes a printer to perform the collective printing, when the first print data and the second print data are selected as the target of collective printing and when the first print setting and the second print setting are determined to be consistent with each other, the printing section performing the collective printing of the first print data and the second print data.
