Printing device

A printing device comprising:

• a printing section configured to perform printing on a medium;
• a transport section configured to transport the medium in a transport direction;
• a first stacker that is provided downstream of the printing section in the transport direction and to which the medium is discharged in a state where one surface of the medium faces upward;
• and
• a second stacker that is provided downstream of the printing section in the transport direction and to which the medium is discharged in a state where an other surface, which is a surface opposite to the one surface, faces upward, wherein
• assuming that in a case of double-sided printing, among the surfaces of the medium, a surface to be printed first is a first surface and a surface to be printed later is a second surface and
• assuming that in a case where a discharge destination of the medium is the first stacker, a page to be printed on the first surface is a first page, and a page to be printed on the second surface is a second page, then
• when the discharge destination of the medium is switched from the first stacker to the second stacker during printing, with respect to the medium that is to be discharged to the second stacker, a printing order is set in a descending order from a last page of all of the medium, and also a page to be printed on the first surface is set to the first page and a page to be printed on the second surface is set to the second page.

• and
• an inversion path that is provided downstream of the printing section in the transport direction and that is configured to invert the front and back of the medium, wherein
• assuming that in single-sided printing, a surface to be printed on is a first surface, then
• when the discharge destination of the medium is switched from the first stacker to the second stacker during printing, the medium that is to be discharged to the second stacker is set to be, after the first surface is printed on, transported to the inversion path and then discharged.
