Abstract: An apparatus includes a printing unit, a conveyance unit including first and second rotating members that nip and convey the sheet, and configured to hold the sheet by temporarily stopping the conveyance before completion of discharge of the sheet, a detection unit configured to detect a rotation of the first rotating member, a determination unit configured to determine whether the sheet has been pulled in a discharge direction based on a detection result of the detection unit in a case where the conveyance unit holds the sheet, and a control unit configured to, if the determination unit determines that the sheet has been pulled in the discharge direction, cause the conveyance unit to perform a discharging process of the sheet.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a conveyance unit including a pair of rotation members that nip a roll sheet, and configured to convey the sheet by rotation of the pair of rotation members, a printing unit, and a control unit configured to, upon executing a new print job, cause the conveyance unit to perform a preparatory operation in which the sheet is conveyed in a forward direction and then conveyed in a reverse direction and stopped. If a predetermined condition is met after completion of a previous print job, the control unit causes the conveyance unit to perform the preparatory operation, and if the predetermined condition is not met after completion of a previous print job, the control unit does not cause the conveyance unit to perform the preparatory operation.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a main assembly provided with an opening and a tray for placing thereon a cartridge for forming an image, wherein the tray is movable through the opening between an image forming position where the cartridge is used for image formation inside the main assembly and a mounting and demounting position where the cartridge is exposed to an outside of the main assembly and is mountable and demountable. In addition a door opens and closes the opening, and an accommodating member accommodates a sheet on which an image is formed. When the tray is in the mounting and demounting position, the door supports the tray and the accommodating member supports the door.
