A recording apparatus includes a recording unit, first and second sheet discharge portions to which recorded products each recorded with an image are discharged, an acquisition unit, a determination unit, and a reception unit. The recording unit records the image by imparting recording materials. The acquisition unit acquires a recording job instructing recording of the image. The determination unit determines, in a case where sheet discharge destination information included in the recording job indicates the first sheet discharge portion, whether a recorded product of an n-th page is dischargeable to the first sheet discharge portion, wherein n is greater than or equal to one. The reception unit receives, in a case where a result of the determination by the determination unit is that recorded product is not dischargeable to the first sheet discharge portion, an instruction about recording of the n-th page from a user.

Recording apparatus, control method, and storage medium

An inkjet printing apparatus according to the present invention includes a first printing head that performs a first printing operation by discharging ink onto the printing medium, a second printing head positioned downstream from the first printing head in a transport direction and performing a second printing operation by discharging ink onto the printing medium, and a preliminary discharge controller that causes the second printing head to perform a preliminary discharging operation that does not contribute to the second printing operation, wherein the preliminary discharge controller causes an ink discharge amount of the preliminary discharging operation of the second printing head to be smaller when an ink discharge amount of the first printing operation is greater than or equal to a predetermined value than when the ink discharge amount of the first printing operation is less than the predetermined value.
