Abstract
A printing apparatus has a conveyance path configured to convey a printing medium toward a print position, a feeder for feeding the print media into the conveyance path and a control unit for controlling the printing apparatus selectively in a first mode and a second mode. In a first mode, the control unit controls the printing apparatus such that a printing medium fed from the feeder is firstly conveyed up to a position where a rear end of the printing medium gets out of the feeder, after the first conveyance, the printing medium is conveyed reversely in the conveyance path, and after that, after the reverse conveyance, the printing medium is conveyed to the print position and then the printing medium is printed by the printing unit. In the second mode, the control unit controls the printing apparatus such that the printing medium fed from the feeder is printed by the printing unit without being conveyed reversely.
