Printing apparatus, control method of printing apparatus, and storage medium

A printing apparatus comprising:

• a conveyance unit configured to convey a printing medium in a conveyance direction;
• a printing unit configured to print an image on the printing medium;
• a carriage having the printing unit and configured to be movable in an intersecting direction, which intersects the conveyance direction;
• and
• a slitter configured to be movable in the intersecting direction and cut the printing medium in the conveyance direction,
• wherein the printing apparatus includes
• a position detection member disposed on the slitter,
• a sensor disposed on the carriage and configured to be able to detect the position detection member, and
• a control unit configured to control a moving distance of the carriage or the slitter, at least based on a first moving distance that indicates a moving distance of the carriage at a timing where the sensor detects the position detection member after the carriage moves from a first origin position.

A control method of a printing apparatus including

• a conveyance unit configured to convey a printing medium in a conveyance direction,
• a printing unit configured to print an image on the printing medium,
• a carriage having the printing unit and configured to be movable in an intersecting direction, which intersects the conveyance direction,
• a slitter configured to be movable in the intersecting direction and cut the printing medium in the conveyance direction, and
• a detection unit mounted on the carriage and configured to be able to detect a cut portion of the printing medium that has been cut by the slitter,
• the control method comprising:
• cutting the printing medium after the slitter moves;
• detecting the cut portion by the detection unit while the carriage moves;
• and
• moving the slitter or the carriage, based on a first moving distance and a second moving distance, the first moving distance indicating a moving distance of the carriage at a timing where the detection unit detects the cut portion, the second moving distance indicating a moving distance of the slitter moved to cut the printing medium.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program which causes a computer to perform a control method of a printing apparatus including

• a conveyance unit configured to convey a printing medium in a conveyance direction,
• a printing unit configured to print an image on the printing medium,
• a carriage having the printing unit and configured to be movable in an intersecting direction, which intersects the conveyance direction,
• a slitter configured to be movable in the intersecting direction and cut the printing medium in the conveyance direction, and
• a detection unit mounted on the carriage and configured to be able to detect a cut portion of the printing medium that has been cut by the slitter,
• the control method comprising:
• cutting the printing medium after the slitter moves;
• detecting the cut portion by the detection unit while the carriage moves;
• and
• moving the slitter or the carriage, based on a first moving distance and a second moving distance, the first moving distance indicating a moving distance of the carriage at a timing where the detection unit detects the cut portion, the second moving distance indicating a moving distance of the slitter moved before the slitter cuts the printing medium.
