Abstract:
1. An inkjet printing apparatus, comprising: an inkjet printing portion; an inkjet transport portion which transports a recording medium while the inkjet printing portion is printing; and a discharge transport portion, which can be driven independently from the inkjet transport portion and is capable of arbitrarily temporarily stopping the recording medium, the discharge transport portion disposed at a downstream side of the inkjet printing portion in a transport direction of the recording medium, wherein, when a post-processing apparatus having a transport speed lower than the printing speed of the inkjet printing portion is connected at a downstream side of the discharge transport portion in the transport direction of the recording medium, control is performed such that after the discharge transport portion is temporarily stopped, transport recommences with a timing matched to the transport speed of the post-processing apparatus, and a supply interval of the recording medium to the inkjet printing portion is increased.
