Printing apparatus and tray control method of the same

A printing apparatus which includes a tray for setting a printing medium thereon, the printing apparatus comprising:

• a switch section which is used to perform a power-on operation or a power-off operation;
• a tray driving section which performs a driving operation of extracting the tray;
• a detection section which detects whether the printing medium exists on the tray;
• a control section which moves the tray to a discharge position by controlling the tray driving section in order to prompt an operation of extracting the printing medium from the tray before an initialization process ends when the printing medium is detected upon performing a power-on process;
• and
• a storage section which stores information that the control section moves the tray to the discharge position upon performing the power-on process,
• wherein the control section determines whether the tray moves to the discharge position upon performing the power-on process on the basis of the information stored in the storage section when the power-off operation is detected before the initialization process ends so as to interrupt a power supply in the state where the tray is located at a current position when the tray does not move to the discharge position upon performing the power-on process or to interrupt the power supply after accommodating the tray in the printing apparatus by controlling the tray driving section when the tray moves to the discharge position upon performing the power-on process.
