Abstract
Provided is a technique that enables proper sorting of discharged print media by suppressing curling of each of the print media sufficiently. A determining unit determines a curling suppressing operation to be executed such that in a case where sorting operation is executed, the suppressing operation having a higher effect of suppressing curling is executed than in a case where the sorting operation is executed. Then, a print control unit controls a print head to perform printing on print media while executing the suppressing operation determined by the determining unit.
Claims17
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a print head configured to apply liquid to a print medium to perform printing;
- a conveying unit configured to convey a print medium to a stacking unit;
- and
- a control unit configured (a) to determine whether to cause the conveying unit to execute a suppressing operation that suppresses curling of a print medium to be discharged on the stacking unit, the suppressing operation being executed before the print medium is conveyed on the stacking unit, and (b) to cause the conveying unit to execute the suppressing operation in accordance with the determination.
