A control device includes a processor and a first storage portion. The processor executes a control process based on data stored in a main memory. The first storage portion stores a first memory image related to the main memory after a process of starting-up an operating system by the processor is completed. The control device loads the first memory image into the main memory if the operating system is started up.

In a case where a setting that is a target of a first control is set in a print setting, the first control is performed, whereas in a case where the setting that is the target of the first control is not set in the print setting, the first control is not performed. The first control is performed to change an orientation of a drawing data such that the drawing data is printed on a sheet in an orientation with a bottom side and a top side of the drawing data respectively corresponding to a downstream side and an upstream side of the sheet in a conveyance direction of conveying the sheet to a printing apparatus that performs print processing to print the drawing data.
