Printing apparatus, control method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

A control method of a printing apparatus including a moving unit configured to individually move each of printheads between a printing position at which a liquid is discharged to a print medium and a retracted position apart from the print medium as compared to the printing position, the method comprising:

• controlling the moving unit so as to, before execution of a top print job among a plurality of print jobs, move a printhead used in the top print job and a printhead to be used in a print job after the top print job from the retracted position to the printing position;
• and
• controlling the moving unit so as to, during execution of a first print job among the plurality of print jobs, move a printhead to be used in a second print job after the first print job from the retracted position to the printing position.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program configured to, for controlling a printing apparatus including a moving unit configured to individually move each of printheads between a printing position at which a liquid is discharged to a print medium and a retracted position apart from the print medium as compared to the printing position, cause a computer to execute:

• controlling the moving unit so as to, before execution of a top print job among a plurality of print jobs, move a printhead used in the top print job and a printhead to be used in a print job after the top print job from the retracted position to the printing position;
• and
• controlling the moving unit so as to, during execution of a first print job among the plurality of print jobs, move a printhead to be used in a second print job after the first print job from the retracted position to the printing position.
