A printing apparatus comprises a supply unit configured to supply a print medium, a roller configured to transport the print medium, a printing unit configured to print on the print medium, and a control unit capable of controlling the supply unit and the roller to create a state of overlap in which a leading end part of a following print medium overlaps a following end part of a preceding print medium on an upstream side of the first roller with respect to the transport direction of the print medium. The control unit adjusts an overlap amount in the state of overlap on the upstream side of the first roller in the transport direction of the print medium based on print data for the preceding print medium and print data for the following print medium.

Printing apparatus and control method thereof, and storage medium

A printing apparatus includes a control unit that reduces an overlap amount of a preceding print medium and a succeeding print medium, from an overlap state in which the succeeding print medium overlaps a trailing edge of the preceding print medium and alternately performs an operation of conveying a print medium by a first conveyance unit and a printing operation of ejecting ink on the print medium while moving a carriage in a state in which the print medium stops. The reduction control conveys the preceding print medium conveyed by the second conveyance unit faster than the succeeding print medium conveyed by the first conveyance unit, in a state in which the printing control for the succeeding print medium is executed.
