Abstract:
1. A printing apparatus that has a paper cut mechanism for cutting copying paper printed in a print mechanism, the printing apparatus comprising: a first conveying section which holds and sends out the copying paper to the print mechanism; a second conveying section which holds and sends out the copying paper that is printed in the print mechanism and is sent out from the first conveying section to the paper cut mechanism in a conveying direction, the printing apparatus arranged along the conveying direction with the first conveying section, the print mechanism, the second conveying section and the paper cut mechanism; a holding section which holds previously one of a first setting value and a second setting value connected with convening control of the copying paper after being cut; a judging section which judges whether a setting value is the first setting value or the second setting value in the holding section; and a controlling section which returns an initial tip of the copying paper after being cut by the paper cut mechanism in a reverse direction to a position proximate the second conveying section and waits for print at a position being not past the print mechanism when the judging section judges to the first setting value in the holding section and which returns the initial tip of the copying paper after being cut by the paper cut mechanism in a reverse direction proximate the first conveying section being past the print mechanism and thereafter conveys in a conveying direction to a position proximate the second conveying section past the print mechanism and waits for an additional print at the position when the judging section judges the second setting value in the holding section.
