Printing apparatus and method of controlling printing apparatus

A printing apparatus comprising:

• a conveyance roller configured to convey a sheet;
• a print head configured to print an image on the sheet conveyed by the conveyance roller;
• a first discharge path configured to discharge the sheet printed with the print head;
• a second discharge path configured to discharge the sheet printed with the print head, the second discharge path being different from the first discharge path;
• and
• a control unit configured to perform control to discharge the sheet in the first discharge path or the second discharge path, wherein
• an angle difference between a direction in which the sheet is discharged in the second discharge path and a conveyance direction of the conveyance roller is less than an angle difference between a direction in which the sheet is discharged in the first discharge path and the conveyance direction of the conveyance roller, and
• in a case where an instruction to print an image is an instruction to adjust a print state of the image to be printed by the print head, the control unit discharges the sheet using the second discharge path.

• an angle difference between a direction in which the sheet is discharged in the second discharge path and a conveyance direction of the conveyance roller is less than an angle difference between a direction in which the sheet is discharged in the first discharge path and the conveyance direction of the conveyance roller, and
• in a case where an instruction to print an image is an instruction to adjust an amount of conveyance of the conveyance roller in the first discharge path, the control unit discharges the sheet to the first discharge path, and in a case where the instruction is an instruction to adjust an amount of conveyance of the conveyance roller in the second discharge path, the control unit discharges the sheet to the second discharge path.

A method of controlling a printing apparatus, the printing apparatus comprising:

• a conveyance roller configured to convey a sheet;
• a print head configured to print an image on the sheet conveyed by the conveyance roller;
• a first discharge path configured to discharge the sheet printed with the print head;
• a second discharge path configured to discharge the sheet printed with the print head, the second discharge path being different from the first discharge path;
• and
• a control unit configured to perform control to discharge the sheet in the first discharge path or the second discharge path, wherein
• an angle difference between a direction in which the sheet is discharged in the second discharge path and a conveyance direction of the conveyance roller is less than an angle difference between a direction in which the sheet is discharged in the first discharge path and the conveyance direction of the conveyance roller, the method comprising:
• receiving an instruction to print an image;
• and
• even in a case where the received instruction indicates discharging the sheet to the first discharge path, if the sheet conveyed by the conveyance roller is a sheet having a thickness equal to or greater than a predetermined value, discharging the sheet on which the image is printed using the second discharge path.

A method of controlling a printing apparatus, the printing apparatus comprising:

• a conveyance roller configured to convey a sheet;
• a print head configured to print an image on the sheet conveyed by the conveyance roller;
• a first discharge path configured to discharge the sheet printed with the print head;
• a second discharge path configured to discharge the sheet printed with the print head, the second discharge path being different from the first discharge path;
• and
• a control unit configured to perform control to discharge the sheet in the first discharge path or the second discharge path, wherein
• an angle difference between a direction in which the sheet is discharged in the second discharge path and a conveyance direction of the conveyance roller is less than an angle difference between a direction in which the sheet is discharged in the first discharge path and the conveyance direction of the conveyance roller, the method comprising:
• obtaining an instruction to print an image;
• and
• in a case where the obtained instruction is an instruction to adjust a print state of the image to be printed by the print head, discharging the sheet using the second discharge path.

• obtaining an instruction to print an image;
• and
• in a case where the obtained instruction is an instruction to adjust an amount of conveyance of the conveyance roller in the first discharge path, discharging the sheet to the first discharge path, and in a case where the instruction is an instruction to adjust an amount of conveyance of the conveyance roller in the second discharge path, discharging the sheet to the second discharge path.
