A print control device includes a processor operating as a determining unit and a direction setting unit. The determining unit determines that a condition is satisfied for a boundary block when an index value of the boundary block indicates that an estimated amount is larger than a first value, and that the condition is satisfied for an internal block when an index value of the internal block indicates that the estimated amount is larger than a second value. The second value is larger than the first value. The direction setting unit sets, for each part data, a direction of main scanning to a specific direction when the part data includes the block that satisfies the condition. The direction setting unit sets the direction of main scanning to a direction opposite to a previously set direction when the part data does not include the block that satisfies the condition.
