Abstract
A print apparatus includes a conveyance unit configured to convey a print medium over a plurality of convexities that are arranged along a direction of scanning and the control unit. When one end position of the print medium has been detected by a detection unit, in a case where the one end position is a position that overlaps with position of the convexities stored in a storage unit, the control unit is configured to control a detection of the other end position of the print medium and determine the one end position on the basis of the other end position.
