Printing apparatus, method of controlling printing apparatus, and storage medium

摘要

In the present invention, a part of the recording elements in accordance with a position of a print medium with respect to a printing head when printing is performed after the detection is performed among the plurality of recording elements arranged in a conveyance direction during conveyance of the print medium are used for printing if the width of the print medium is detected by the sensor. Then the image of printing target of the size in accordance with the width of the print medium is printed on the print medium.

主权项

1. A printing apparatus which prints an image on a print medium by a plurality of recording elements, comprising:
a conveying unit configured to convey the print medium in a conveyance direction; an acquisition unit configured to acquire a width, in a direction which crosses the conveyance direction, of the print medium conveyed by the conveying unit, wherein the width is detected by a sensor arrange in the conveyance direction between the most upstream element and the most downstream element of the plurality of recording elements; and a printing unit configured to determine whether the width has been detected by the sensor, and in response to determining that the width has been detected by the sensor, configured to print, on the print medium, an image of a size in accordance with the acquired width of the print medium using the recording elements so that a first part of the recording elements is used for printing on an area which has been conveyed downstream from the sensor in the conveyance direction when the detection is performed.
