Claim 6:
7. The printing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein
the cooling device comprises an exhaust fan configured to rotate to discharge air from the printing apparatus and an intake fan configured to rotate to intake air into the printing apparatus,
the print controller is configured, when the printing device completes the current printing operation, to stop a rotation of the exhaust fan but continues a rotation of the intake fan,
the printing apparatus further comprises an environmental value processor configured to store the environmental value that is detected by the environmental value detector after an operating time of the intake fan, which is a time in which the intake fan has rotated since the rotation of the exhaust fan was stopped, has passed a fourth threshold time, in the environmental value storage as a new environmental value, and
the print controller is configured, in response to receiving an instruction to perform a next printing operation after the new environmental value was stored, to determine whether or not the first threshold time has elapsed since the new environmental value was stored.
