Abstract
A printing apparatus includes a carriage mounted with a printing unit, a belt, a first motor configured to drive the belt at one end in a widthwise direction, a second motor configured to drive the belt at the other end in the widthwise direction, and a control unit configured to control the first motor and the second motor. The control unit performs first control by driving the first motor in which the carriage moves from a state in which the carriage is stopped. In the control, the second motor is controlled from a first state in which its torque is lower than that of the first motor to a second state in which its torque is higher than that in the first state.
