Abstract
A printing apparatus can prevent a print medium from buckling during discharging. In a case in which the print conveyance speed determined by the print mode is higher than or equal to a specified speed, the print medium after printing is conveyed to a discharging tray at the print conveyance speed, and in a case in which the print conveyance speed determined by the print mode is lower than the specified speed, the print medium after printing is conveyed to the discharging tray at the specified speed increased from the print conveyance speed.
Claims15
A conveyance apparatus comprising:
- a conveying unit configured to convey a print medium;
- and
- a drive unit configured to drive the conveying unit such that the conveying unit conveys the print medium in a first direction at a print conveyance speed while a print head, which has a plurality of ejecting openings arrayed in a second direction intersecting the first direction, performs a printing operation for ejecting ink from the ejection openings on the print medium without moving in the first direction, and after the printing operation, the conveying unit conveys the print medium to a discharging tray,
- wherein the drive unit drives the conveying unit such that in a case in which the print conveyance speed in the printing operation is slower than a specified speed, after the printing operation, the conveying unit discharges the print medium, on which the printing operation has been performed with conveyance at the print conveyance speed, to the discharging tray at the specified speed faster than the print conveyance speed in the printing operation, and in a case in which the print conveyance speed in the printing operation is faster than or equal to the specified speed, after the printing operation, the conveying unit discharges the printing medium to the discharging tray at the print conveyance speed.
A method of controlling a conveyance apparatus including a conveying unit configured to convey a print medium, and a drive unit configured to drive the conveying unit such that the conveying unit conveys the print medium in a first direction at a print conveyance speed while a print head, which has a plurality of ejecting openings arrayed in a second direction intersecting the first direction, performs a printing operation for ejecting ink from the ejection openings on the print medium without moving in the first direction, and after the printing operation, the conveying unit conveys the print medium to a discharging tray, the method comprising:
- a step in which the drive unit drives the conveying unit such that in a case in which the print conveyance speed in the printing operation is slower than a specified speed, after the printing operation, the conveying unit discharges the print medium, on which the printing operation has been performed with conveyance at the print conveyance speed, to the discharging tray at the specified speed faster than the print conveyance speed in the printing operation, and in a case in which the print conveyance speed in the printing operation is faster than or equal to the specified speed, after the printing operation the conveying unit discharges the printing medium to the discharging tray at the print conveyance speed.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform a method of controlling a conveyance apparatus including a conveying unit configured to convey a print medium, and a drive unit configured to drive the conveying unit such that the conveying unit conveys the print medium in a first direction at a print conveyance speed while a print head, which has a plurality of ejecting openings arrayed in a second direction intersecting the first direction, performs a printing operation for ejecting ink from the ejection openings on the print medium without moving the print head in the first direction, and after the printing operation, the conveying unit conveys the print medium to a discharging tray, the method comprising:
- causing a computer included in the conveyance apparatus to perform a step in which the drive unit drives the conveying unit such that in a case in which the print conveyance speed in the printing operation is slower than a specified speed, after the printing operation, the conveying unit discharges the print medium, on which the printing operation has been performed with conveyance at the print conveyance speed, to the discharging tray at the specified speed faster than the print conveyance speed in the printing operation, and in a case in which the print conveyance speed in the printing operation is faster than or equal to the specified speed, after the printing operation, the conveying unit discharges the printing medium to the discharging tray at the print conveyance speed.
