A recording sheet is positioned at one of a plurality of starting positions based on a printing mode used in previous printing operations. When printing operations are started in a printing mode different from the previous printing mode, the recording sheet is transported either in a forward direction or in a reverse direction to a corresponding starting position. Then, actual printing is started. On the other hand, when printing operations are started in the same printing mode, actual printing is started immediately. In this way, printing speed is improved.
