Abstract
A printing apparatus includes a first discharge unit to discharge a printing medium on which printing has been performed, and a second discharge unit to discharge a printing medium on which printing has been performed. A determination unit, in a case where the first discharge unit is instructed to be a discharge destination of a printing medium, determines whether to discharge the printing medium from the first discharge unit based on a predetermined condition. An identification unit, in a case where the determination unit determines not to discharge the printing medium from the first discharge unit, identifies alternative processing previously instructed by a user. An execution unit executes the alternative processing identified by the identification unit.
