Multifunction apparatus and control method for multifunction apparatus

A control method for a multifunction apparatus,

• the multifunction apparatus including
• a reading mechanism including a reading unit configured to read information of a document, and a document discharge port configured to discharge the read document,
• a recording mechanism including a recording unit configured to record the information on a recording medium, and a medium discharge port configured to discharge the recording medium on which recording was performed, and
• a control unit, wherein
• the document discharge port is disposed upward in a vertical direction of the medium discharge port, and a path through which a leading end of the recording medium discharged from the medium discharge port passes and the document discharged from the document discharge port have such a positional relationship to intersect with each other at an intersecting position, and
• the reading of the document by the reading mechanism and the recording on the recording medium by the recording mechanism are configured to be simultaneously performed,
• the control method comprising:
• when the leading end of the recording medium is discharged from the medium discharge port in a stop state where the discharging of the document is stopped at a position where the document discharged from the document discharge port blocks the path of the leading end of the recording medium discharged from the medium discharge port, performing a predetermined operation for canceling the stop state before causing the leading end of the recording medium to reach the intersecting position.
