Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a carriage, a carriage mover including a motor to move the carriage, a motor controller configured to control the motor, a power supply configured to selectively apply a first voltage or a second voltage to the motor controller, the second voltage being higher than the first voltage, and a transmitter to transmit a control signal for movement of the carriage when a predetermined control condition is satisfied. The first voltage is a voltage enabling the motor controller to move the carriage at a first speed by the motor. The second voltage is a voltage enabling the motor controller to move the carriage at a second speed by the motor, the second speed being higher than the first speed. The power supply applies the first voltage to the motor controller in a state where the transmitter transmits the control signal.
