PRINTING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

A printing apparatus includes a print carriage incorporating a printhead and a communication unit configured to perform short distance wireless communication, and a conveyance unit configured to convey the print carriage. When conveying the print carriage to cause the printhead to execute printing of print data, the printing apparatus detects a wireless tag on a paper sheet using the communication unit, and writes tag information in the detected wireless tag. The printing apparatus changes the conveyance mode of the print carriage by the conveyance unit before and after the number of wireless tags detected on the paper sheet reaches the number of target wireless tags in which tag information is to be written.
