Patent ID: 7878723

Claim:
A printing apparatus, including a first roller and a second roller, adapted to transport a plurality of print media on a tray in a transport direction, the second roller disposed at a downstream side of the tray in the transport direction, the first roller disposed at a downstream side of the second roller in the transport direction, the printing apparatus comprising: a first calculator, operable to calculate a first transport amount for the first roller; a second calculator, operable to calculate, based on the first transport amount, a second transport amount for the second roller, the second transport amount being greater than the first transport amount; a first controller, operable to drive a first motor that drives the first roller and to stop the first motor such that the first roller stops with the first transport amount; and a second controller, operable to drive a second motor that drives the second roller when the first controller drives the first motor and to stop the second motor such that the second roller stops with the second transport amount; wherein the first transport amount includes an accumulated transport amount error in a transport control where the plurality of print medium under printing are intermittently transported with every predetermined target paper transport amount.
