Abstract: A printing apparatus that includes a holding unit configured to hold a roll sheet performs supplying the sheet by rotating the roll sheet held by the holding unit; nipping and conveying the supplied sheet; performing printing on the conveyed sheet; detecting occurrence of a print medium jam of the sheet; and, if the printing apparatus has detected a print medium jam of the sheet, performing a control process of supplying the sheet in a state in which the conveying is stopped.

Abstract: A printing apparatus, comprising a conveyance unit for conveying a sheet, a carriage mounted with a printhead and configured to scan the printhead in a sheet widthwise direction, a platen arranged so as to face the printhead, a detection unit mounted on the carriage and configured to detect a distance to a sheet, a support portion, for supporting a sheet from below, arranged on a downstream side of the carriage in a conveyance direction, movable between a first position at which the support portion forms a conveyance surface for a sheet and a second position at which the support portion protrudes above the conveyance surface, and a determination unit configured to determine, based on a detection result of the detection unit, whether the support portion is at the first position or the second position.

Abstract: There is provided with printing apparatus. A printing unit prints an image on a printing medium and is able to move. A cutter unit is able to connect with or separate from the printing unit, and, by following a movement of the printing unit, cuts the printing medium. A control unit, in a case where a predetermined condition is satisfied after the printing medium is cut by the cutter unit, causes the printing unit to perform printing on a succeeding printing medium, while moving the printing unit in a state in which the cutter unit is connected with the printing unit.
