PRINTING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

A printing apparatus includes a first feeding roller, a feeding motor configured to drive the first feeding roller, a second feeding roller, a conveyance roller, a conveyance motor configured to drive the conveyance roller, a printing unit configured to print the printing sheet, a detection sensor configured to detect the leading edge of the printing sheet, and a control unit configured to, when the printing unit performs a printing operation on a preceding sheet, drive the feeding motor in synchronization with the conveyance motor before the detection sensor detects the leading edge of a succeeding sheet, and continuously drive the feeding motor so that the conveying speed of the succeeding sheet by the feeding motor becomes higher than that of the preceding sheet after the detection sensor detects the leading edge of the succeeding sheet.

1. A printing apparatus comprising:
a first feeding roller configured to feed a printing sheet stacked on a stacking unit; a feeding motor configured to drive said first feeding roller; a second feeding roller driven by said feeding motor and configured to convey the printing sheet fed by said first feeding roller; a conveyance roller configured to convey the printing sheet conveyed by said second feeding roller; a conveyance motor configured to drive said conveyance roller; a printing unit configured to print the printing sheet conveyed by said conveyance roller; a detection unit, arranged between said second feeding roller and said conveyance roller, configured to detect a leading edge of the printing sheet; and a control unit configured to, when said printing unit performs a printing operation on a preceding sheet as a printing sheet precedingly fed from the stacking unit, drive said feeding motor in synchronization with said conveyance motor before said detection unit detects a leading edge of a succeeding sheet as a printing sheet succeedingly fed from the stacking unit, and continuously drive said feeding motor so that a conveying speed of the succeeding sheet by said feeding motor becomes higher than a conveying speed of the preceding sheet by said conveyance motor after said detection unit detects the leading edge of the succeeding sheet.
