A printing apparatus comprising: a printing unit configured to print an image on a medium (M) conveyed in a conveyance direction (A); a first roller disposed upstream of the printing unit in the conveyance direction; a second roller disposed downstream of the printing unit in the conveyance direction; a conveyance belt that is stretched over the first roller and the second roller such that a tension is applied to the conveyance belt between the first roller and the second roller and that is configured to support the medium at least in a facing region facing the printing unit; and a control unit configured to perform on the conveyance belt a forward rotation operation configured to convey the medium supported by the conveyance belt in the conveyance direction by causing the conveyance belt to be rotated in a first rotation direction (C1), and a reverse rotation operation configured to convey the medium supported by the conveyance belt in a reverse conveyance direction, which is an opposite direction to the conveyance direction, by causing the conveyance belt to be rotated in a second rotation direction (C2), which is an opposite direction to the first rotation direction, characterised in that , when the reverse rotation operation has been performed during a print pause period, which is a period from when printing of a first image is complete to when printing of a second image to be printed subsequently to the first image is started, and the tension at an end of the print pause period has changed from the tension when the printing of the first image is complete due to the reverse rotation operation performed during the print pause period, the control unit corrects a rotation amount of the conveyance belt in the first rotation direction during printing of the second image. a printing unit configured to print an image on a medium (M) conveyed in a conveyance direction (A); a first roller disposed upstream of the printing unit in the conveyance direction; a second roller disposed downstream of the printing unit in the conveyance direction; a conveyance belt that is stretched over the first roller and the second roller such that a tension is applied to the conveyance belt between the first roller and the second roller and that is configured to support the medium at least in a facing region facing the printing unit; and a control unit configured to perform on the conveyance belt a forward rotation operation configured to convey the medium supported by the conveyance belt in the conveyance direction by causing the conveyance belt to be rotated in a first rotation direction (C1), and a reverse rotation operation configured to convey the medium supported by the conveyance belt in a reverse conveyance direction, which is an opposite direction to the conveyance direction, by causing the conveyance belt to be rotated in a second rotation direction (C2), which is an opposite direction to the first rotation direction, characterised in that , when the reverse rotation operation has been performed during a print pause period, which is a period from when printing of a first image is complete to when printing of a second image to be printed subsequently to the first image is started, and the tension at an end of the print pause period has changed from the tension when the printing of the first image is complete due to the reverse rotation operation performed during the print pause period, the control unit corrects a rotation amount of the conveyance belt in the first rotation direction during printing of the second image. <EOS>
