Abstract
A nail printing apparatus includes a print head that prints an image on a nail, a finger rest that is a rest on which a finger is placed and that is movable in a height direction, and a sensor that is arranged at a position above the finger rest as well as below the print head in the height direction and that is movable in a movement direction and capable of detecting a nail within a detection range. A control unit controls height adjustment in which the sensor is moved in the movement direction so that a first position of a nail area is included in the detection range of the sensor and then the finger rest is moved upward until the sensor detects the nail.
