A printing apparatus comprising:
- a printing unit;
- a discharge unit configured to discharge a printed material on which the printing unit has performed printing and configured not to completely discharge but to hold the printed material;
- a detection unit configured to detect removal of the printed material that has been held by the discharge unit;
- and
- a control unit configured to control notification by a notification unit to a user, wherein
- in response to detection by the detection unit of the removal of the printed material, the control unit is configured to control the notification unit to notify a user that the printed material has been removed.
A notification control method performed in a printing apparatus, comprising:
- holding, by a discharge unit for discharging a printed material on which printing has been performed, the printed material without completely discharging the printed material;
- detecting, by a detection unit, that the printed material has been removed from the discharge unit;
- and
- in response to detection by the detection unit that the printed material has been removed, controlling a notification unit to notify a user that the printed material has been removed.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a computer program for causing a printing apparatus, when executed by a processor of the printing apparatus, to:
- hold, by a discharge unit for discharging a printed material on which printing has been performed, the printed material without completely discharging the printed material;
- detect, by a detection unit, that the printed material has been removed from the discharge unit;
- and
- in response to detection by the detection unit that the printed material has been removed, control a notification unit to notify a user that the printed material has been removed.
