Abstract
A printing apparatus includes a feeding unit configured to feed a printing sheet stacked on a stacking unit, a conveying unit configured to convey the printing sheet fed by the feeding unit, a printing unit configured to print the printing sheet conveyed by the conveying unit, and a control unit configured to control the feeding unit and the conveying unit. When continuously printing on the first surfaces of a plurality of printing sheets, the feeding unit forms an overlap state in which a trailing edge of a preceding sheet and a leading edge of a succeeding sheet overlap each other, and the conveying unit conveys the printing sheets while keeping the overlap state. When performing double-sided printing on the first surface and the second surface of the printing sheet, the feeding unit does not form the overlap state.
