Abstract
A printing apparatus includes a transport unit including a roller that transports a recording sheet in a transport direction, a transport motor that rotates the roller, and a driving circuit that drives the transport motor, a head that performs printing on the recording sheet, a cutter that cuts the recording sheet, and a control unit. The control unit puts the transport motor into a hold state by the driving circuit when the recording sheet is cut by the cutter, and puts the transport motor into a short brake state by the driving circuit after the recording sheet is cut by the cutter.
