Abstract
A printing apparatus includes a feeding roller configured to feed sheets, including at least a preceding sheet and a succeeding sheet, a conveyance roller configured to convey the sheets fed by the feeding roller, and a printing unit configured to print on at least one sheet, of the sheets conveyed by the conveyance roller. A conveyance control unit controls the conveying of the sheets by the conveyance roller to form an overlap state, in which a leading edge of the succeeding sheet overlaps with the preceding sheet. In a case in which the conveyance roller conveys the succeeding sheet to a printing start position at which a printing operation is started by the printing unit, and the conveyance control unit forms the overlap state, the printing unit is configured to print on an overlapping area in which the preceding sheet and the succeeding sheet overlap.
