Abstract
A printing apparatus comprises a supply unit configured to supply a print medium, a roller configured to transport the print medium, a printing unit configured to print on the print medium, and a control unit capable of controlling the supply unit and the roller to create a state of overlap in which a leading end part of a following print medium overlaps a following end part of a preceding print medium on an upstream side of the first roller with respect to the transport direction of the print medium. The control unit adjusts an overlap amount in the state of overlap on the upstream side of the first roller in the transport direction of the print medium based on print data for the preceding print medium and print data for the following print medium.
