Abstract
A printing apparatus includes a print section configured to perform printing on a first side of a medium and then perform printing on a second side that is a back side of the first side, a supply path configured to supply the medium toward the print section, a feeding roller configured to feed the medium along the supply path from an upstream side to a downstream side in a transport direction, a toothed roller provided on the downstream side of the feeding rollers in the transport direction, a drive source configured to rotate the feeding roller and the toothed roller, and a controller configured to control driving of the drive source. The controller performs rotation control for rotating the feed rollers prior to the rotation of the toothed roller with which the medium has collided.
