Abstract
A printing apparatus includes: a conveying unit; a printing unit; a disposing stand provided on a downstream side of the printing unit in a first direction, the disposing stand having a disposing section where a printing medium is disposed; a cutting blade that cuts the printing medium disposed in the disposing section; and a supporting member that supports the cutting blade movably from a non-cutting position, via a partial cut position, to a full cut position. The non-cutting position is a position where a blade edge is separated from the printing medium disposed in the disposing section. The partial cut position is a position where the cutting blade cuts a part of the printing medium in a second direction. The full cut position is a position where a blade edge passes beyond the disposing section to fully cut the printing medium in the second direction.
