1. A printing apparatus comprising:
a feeding roller configured to feed a printing sheet stacked on a stacking unit; a conveyance roller configured to convey the printing sheet fed by said feeding roller; a printing unit configured to print the printing sheet conveyed by said conveyance roller; a conveyance control unit configured to control conveyance of printing sheets so that a trailing edge of a preceding sheet as a printing sheet precedingly fed from the stacking unit and a leading edge of a succeeding sheet as a printing sheet succeedingly fed from the stacking unit overlap each other; and a determination unit configured to determine whether to convey the succeeding sheet to a position facing said printing unit while keeping an overlap state between the preceding sheet and the succeeding sheet, wherein if a non-printing area of the succeeding sheet cannot be detected before said printing unit performs a printing operation of a last row of the preceding sheet, said conveyance control unit controls to convey the preceding sheet while feeding of the succeeding sheet stops, and to convey only the succeeding sheet to the position facing said printing unit.
