Abstract
A printing apparatus includes: a transport roller configured to transport a medium through a transport path; a printing unit configured to perform printing on the medium transported by the transport roller through the transport path; an intermediate roller configured to transport again, to the transport path, the medium transported through an inversion path in a reverse direction to a transport direction of the medium to invert a front surface and a back surface of the medium, the inversion path including a branching point where the inversion path branches from the transport path at an upstream side of the transport roller in the transport direction, the inversion path merging with the transport path again at an upstream side of the branching point in the transport direction; a device disposed in the transport path and between the transport roller and the intermediate roller; a first driving device configured to drive the transport roller; and a second driving device configured to drive the intermediate roller, in which the intermediate roller includes an electromagnetic clutch mechanism.
