Printing apparatus, method for controlling a printing apparatus, and storage medium for performing reading at a reading position, generating image data and printing an image based on the image data

A method for controlling a printing apparatus including a reading unit and a printing unit, the method comprising:

• performing, by the reading unit, reading at a reading position and then generating, by the reading unit, image data;
• printing, by the printing unit, an image on a sheet based on the image data generated by the reading unit;
• determining whether image data includes an abnormal pixel, the image data being generated by the reading unit with no document placed at the reading position;
• and
• performing control so that the determining is performed in a case where a type of the sheet on which the image is to be printed by the printing unit is a first type of sheet, and performing control so that the determining is not performed in a case where the type of the sheet on which the image is to be printed by the printing unit is a second type of sheet which is different from the first type of sheet.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for controlling a printing apparatus including a reading unit and a printing unit to perform a method, the method comprising:

• performing, by the reading unit, reading at a reading position and then generating, by the reading unit, image data;
• printing, by the printing unit, an image on a sheet based on the image data generated by the reading unit;
• determining whether image data includes an abnormal pixel, the second-image data being generated by the reading unit with no document placed at the reading position;
• and
• performing control so that the determination is performed in a case where a type of the sheet on which the image is to be printed by the printing unit is a first type of sheet, and performing control so that the determination is not performed in a case where the type of the sheet on which the image is to be printed by the printing unit is a second type of sheet which is different from the first type of sheet.
