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.
Claims22
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a print head configured to apply liquid to a print medium to perform printing;
- and
- a conveying unit configured to convey a print medium to a stacking unit,
- wherein the conveying unit conveys the print medium in a conveying path at a first conveyance speed in a case where a sorting operation is not executed, and
- wherein the conveying unit conveys the print medium in the conveying path at a second conveyance speed which is lower than the first conveyance speed in a case where the sorting operation is executed.
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a print head configured to apply liquid to a print medium to perform printing;
- and
- a conveying unit configured to convey a print medium to a stacking unit,
- wherein the conveying unit do not stop the print medium at a position before the print medium is conveyed on the stacking unit after printing performed by the print head ends in a conveying path in a case where a sorting operation is not executed, and
- wherein the conveying unit stops, for a specified period, the print medium at the position before the print medium is conveyed on the stacking unit after printing performed by the print head ends in the conveying path in a case where the sorting operation is executed.
