Abstract
A printing apparatus prints an image in a right direction based on an open/close state of a flap of a held envelope and on a position of the flap received from a user. A control method for controlling a printing apparatus, includes determining whether an envelope having a flap is held by a holding unit with its flap opened or the envelope is held by the holding unit with its flap closed, receiving, from a user, a front end, a far side, or a back end in the conveyance direction of the envelope as a position of the flap of the envelope held by the holding unit, and performing control such that a direction of an image to be printed on the envelope is decided based on a result of the determination and on the received position of the flap, and the image is printed on the envelope.
Claims7
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a holding unit configured to hold an envelope having a flap;
- a receiving unit configured to receive, from a user, a position of the flap of the envelope held by the holding unit;
- and
- a control unit configured to perform control such that an image is printed on the envelope in a first direction when the position received by the receiving unit indicates a front end of the envelope in a conveyance direction, to perform control such that the image is printed on the envelope in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction when the position received by the receiving unit indicates a back end of the envelope in the conveyance direction, and to perform control such that the image is printed on the envelope in a third direction different from the first direction and the second direction when the position received by the receiving unit indicates a far end from a user.
A control method for controlling a printing apparatus having a holding unit configured to hold an envelope having a flap, comprising:
- receiving, from a user, a position of the flap of the envelope held by the holding unit;
- performing control such that an image is printed on the envelope in a first direction when the received position indicates a front end of the envelope in a conveyance direction,
- performing control such that the image is printed on the envelope in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction when the received position indicates a back end of the envelope in the conveyance direction, and
- performing control such that the image is printed on the envelope in a third direction different from the first direction and the second direction when the position received indicates a far end from a user.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium for storing a computer program for controlling a printing apparatus having a holding unit configured to hold an envelope having a flap, the computer program comprising:
- a code to receive, from a user, a position of the flap of the envelope held by the holding unit;
- and
- a code to perform control such that an image is printed on the envelope in a first direction when the received position indicates a front end of the envelope in a conveyance direction, to perform control such that the image is printed on the envelope in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction when the received position indicates a back end of the envelope in the conveyance direction, and to perform control such that the image is printed on the envelope in a third direction different from the first direction and the second direction when the position received indicates a far end from a user.
