Printing apparatus, control method, and storage medium

A control method for a printing apparatus including a printing unit configured to print an image on a print medium, a first conveyance unit configured to convey the print medium in a conveying direction, and a second conveyance unit configured to convey the print medium having undergone printing by the printing unit on a downstream side of the first conveyance unit in the conveying direction, the method comprising

• reducing an overlap amount between a preceding print medium and a succeeding print medium by providing a speed difference between the preceding print medium and the succeeding print medium from an overlap state in which the succeeding print medium overlaps a trailing end of the preceding print medium,
• wherein the reducing is executed at a conveying speed to which a conveying speed of the preceding print medium is set in accordance with print data of an image printed on the succeeding print medium if a trailing end of the preceding print medium is positioned in an interval between the first conveyance unit and the second conveyance unit.
