Conveyance apparatus, control method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program for controlling an interval between a print medium to be used for single-sided printing and a print medium to be used for double-sided printing

A control method for controlling a conveyance apparatus, the control method comprising:

• conveying, using a conveyance path, a print medium to an image forming component configured to form an image on the print medium;
• supplying the print medium to the conveyance path;
• re-conveying, to the image forming component, the print medium, on which the image is formed by the image forming component, to perform double-sided printing;
• and
• controlling, if a first print medium among supply target print media is a print medium to be used for single-sided printing and the re-conveyed print medium is located within a predetermined distance from a region where the first print medium is located on the conveyance path, supply of the print medium to the conveyance path so that an interval between the region where the first print medium is located on the conveyance path and a region where a second print medium supplied to the conveyance path next to the first print medium is located on the conveyance path becomes a first interval, and
• controlling, if the first print medium is a print medium to be used for single-sided printing and the re-conveyed print medium is not located within the predetermined distance from the region where the first print medium is located on the conveyance path, supply of the print medium to the conveyance path so that the interval between the region where the first print medium is located on the conveyance path and the region where the second print medium is located on the conveyance path becomes a second interval shorter than the first interval.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program for causing a conveyance apparatus to execute:

• conveying, using a conveyance path, a print medium to an image forming component configured to form an image on the print medium;
• supplying the print medium to the conveyance path;
• re-conveying, to the image forming component, the print medium, on which the image is formed by the image forming component, to perform double-sided printing;
• and
• controlling, if a first print medium among supply target print media is a print medium to be used for single-sided printing and the re-conveyed print medium is located within a predetermined distance from a region where the first print medium is located on the conveyance path, supply of the print medium to the conveyance path so that an interval between the region where the first print medium is located on the conveyance path and a region where a second print medium supplied to the conveyance path next to the first print medium is located on the conveyance path becomes a first interval, and
• controlling, if the first print medium is a print medium to be used for single-sided printing and the re-conveyed print medium is not located within the predetermined distance from the region where the first print medium is located on the conveyance path, supply of the print medium to the conveyance path so that the interval between the region where the first print medium is located on the conveyance path and the region where the second print medium is located on the conveyance path becomes a second interval shorter than the first interval.
