Abstract
In an image printing operation, advance sheet feeding is performed if the size of a recording medium is known upon feeding at least one sheet of the recording medium. To the contrary, advance sheet feeding is not performed if the size of a recording medium is not known, for example, immediately after a power supply has been turned on or after a new supply of recording medium has been placed in a sheet feeding unit.
