Patent number: 9120333Abstract: A printing apparatus according to the present invention includes a feeding unit, a conveying unit, a printing unit, and a control unit. The control unit performs a successive feeding operation. An operating state of the feeding unit changes between a first operating state and a second operating state in which a feeding stop is more unstable than that in the first operating state, in a period from a start of feeding a printing medium until the printing medium reaches the conveying unit. In the successive feeding operation, a subsequent printing medium is fed without stopping until a leading end of the subsequent printing medium reaches a stoppable position. The stoppable position is arranged on an upstream side of the conveying unit. The subsequent printing medium can be stopped in the first operating state at the stoppable position.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2014Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Toshiaki Tokisawa, Atsushi Miyahara, Kazuo Ohyama, Masanori Kaneko, Masaaki Matsuura, Hiroshi Nakai
