A printing apparatus includes a supply unit, a supply path, first and second conveyance paths, a printing unit, and an inversion roller. The first conveyance path conveys, to a first direction, a print medium. The printing unit prints an image on the two surface of the print medium. The inversion roller inverts a conveyance direction of the print medium and conveys the print medium in a second direction. The second conveyance path conveys the print medium conveyed in the second direction to the first conveyance path while inverting the print medium. When performing printing on both sides of print media, the print media are convey such that a first print medium supplied from the second conveyance path and a second print medium supplied from the supply path overlap in the first conveyance path.
A printing apparatus comprising:
A method of controlling a printing apparatus having a supply unit configured to supply a print medium, a supply path configured to convey the print medium supplied from the supply unit, a first conveyance path configured to convey the print medium from the supply path to a first direction, a printing unit configured to print an image on a first surface and a second surface on a back of the first surface of the print medium conveyed to the first direction through the first conveyance path, an inversion roller provided on a downstream side of the printing unit in the first direction, and capable of inverting a conveyance direction of the print medium and conveying the print medium in a second direction different from the first direction, and a second conveyance path configured to convey the print medium conveyed in the second direction by the inversion roller to the first conveyance path while inverting the print medium, the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program configured to cause a computer to execute a method of controlling a printing apparatus having a supply unit configured to supply a print medium, a supply path configured to convey the print medium supplied from the supply unit, a first conveyance path configured to convey the print medium from the supply path to a first direction, a printing unit configured to print an image on a first surface and a second surface on a back of the first surface of the print medium conveyed to the first direction through the first conveyance path, an inversion roller provided on a downstream side of the printing unit in the first direction, and capable of inverting a conveyance direction of the print medium and conveying the print medium in a second direction different from the first direction, and a second conveyance path configured to convey the print medium conveyed in the second direction by the inversion roller to the first conveyance path while inverting the print medium, the method comprising:
