Printing apparatus

A printing apparatus comprising:

• a holder configured to accommodate a printing medium;
• a conveyor configured to take the printing medium from the holder and configured to convey the printing medium along a conveying direction;
• a printer configured to perform printing on the printing medium conveyed by the conveyor;
• a cutter configured to cut the printing medium conveyed by the conveyor;
• a first detector which is provided upstream in the conveying direction of the cutter, and which is configured to detect a front end and a rear end of the printing medium conveyed by the conveyor;
• and
• a controller, wherein:
• a distance in the conveying direction between the first detector and the cutter is shorter than a length in the conveying direction of one of media generated by dividing the printing medium into n-pieces of media (n is an integer not smaller than 2);
• and
• the controller is configured to:
• calculate a length in the conveying direction of the printing medium by using a result of a detecting of the front end and the rear end of the printing medium by the first detector, and set a cutting position of the printing medium so that the printing medium is divided into the n-pieces of media in the conveying direction;
• and
• cause the cutter to cut the printing medium at the set cutting position.
