A printing apparatus comprising:

• a print head configured to print an image on a print medium while moving in a width direction of the print medium;
• a conveyance unit configured to convey the print medium on which an image is printed by the print head;
• a first stacking part configured to allow the print medium discharged in a conveyance direction by the conveyance unit to be stacked thereon, the conveyance direction intersecting with the width direction;
• and
• a control unit configured to control stacking of the print medium on the first stacking part,
• wherein the control unit executes
• a first operation for stacking the print medium at a first position on the first stacking part, and
• a second operation for stacking the print medium at a second position on the first stacking part, the second position being different from the first position in the width direction.
