Abstract
A printing apparatus supporting USB type-C includes: a USB type-C interface configured to support a connection with an external device; a printing unit configured to perform printing; and a controller configured to control the supply of power to the external device. The controller checks a reception power received from an external power source, predicts the estimated power consumption of at least one of the printing apparatus and the external device, determines a supply power to be transmitted to the external device based on the reception power and the estimated power consumption, and transmits the supply power to the external device via the USB type-C interface.
