Abstract:
1. A printing apparatus comprising: an end detecting unit configured to detect a leading end and a trailing end of a print medium; and a print controller configured (i) to allow print data to be selectively specified as printed on an image print area of the print medium on the basis of the leading end of the print medium or printed on an image print area of the print medium on the basis of the trailing end of the print medium, (ii) to perform printing of first print data of which print position is specified at a first position on the print medium, the first position being determined on the basis of the leading end of the print medium detected by the end detecting unit, and (iii) to perform printing of second print data of which print position is specified at a second position on the print medium such that (a) printing of all of the second print data, which is data input into the printing apparatus, is performed or (b) a start position of printing of the second print data is changed, the second position being determined on the basis of the trailing end of the print medium detected by the end detecting unit independently of the first position.
