A printing apparatus comprising: a first transport unit that transports a printing medium; a line head, having a nozzle row in which the plurality of nozzles are arranged, that ejects the liquid from the nozzles onto the printing medium; a second transport unit, disposed at a distance from the first transport unit downstream from the first transport unit, that further transports the printing medium transported by the first transport unit; and a control unit that causes the line head to execute a flushing operation for ejecting the liquid from the nozzles at a predetermined frequency, wherein when causing the line head to execute the flushing operation, the control unit provides a margin, where the liquid does not land, in a region corresponding to a predetermined distance from a leading end of the printing medium that is an end of the printing medium located toward the second transport unit. |

1. A printing apparatus, having a plurality of nozzles for ejecting a liquid, that is capable of executing an operation for ejecting the liquid from the nozzles based on print data for printing an image specified as a printing target, the apparatus comprising:
a first transport unit that transports a printing medium in a transport direction; a line head, having a nozzle row in which the plurality of nozzles are arranged in a direction that intersects with the transport direction, that ejects the liquid from the nozzles onto the printing medium transported by the first transport unit; a second transport unit, disposed at a distance from the first transport unit downstream from the first transport unit in the transport direction, that further transports the printing medium transported by the first transport unit; and a control unit that causes the line head to execute a flushing operation for ejecting the liquid from the nozzles at a predetermined frequency, wherein when causing the line head to execute the flushing operation, the control unit provides a margin, where the liquid does not land, in a region corresponding to a predetermined distance from a leading end of the printing medium that is an end of the printing medium located toward the second transport unit.
