Claim:
A printing apparatus comprising: a correction unit configured to correct a sheet conveying distance for every sheet kind, the correction unit correcting a sheet conveying distance of a sheet to be used for printing according to an adjustment value based a test chart printed by the printing apparatus; a storing unit configured to store correction execution information which indicates whether the correcting of the sheet conveying distance by the correction unit is executed for every sheet kind; an accepting unit configured to accept print data different from the test chart; a determining unit configured to determine, in a case where the print data different from the test chart is accepted by the accepting unit, whether the correcting of the sheet conveying distance by the correction unit for a sheet kind used in printing of the print data different from the test chart and accepted by the accepting unit has been executed based on the correction execution information stored by the storing unit; and a notifying unit configured to notify a user, in a case where the determining unit determines that no correction of the sheet conveying distance for the sheet kind has been executed, that the correcting of the sheet conveying distance has not been executed even though the print data has been accepted by the accepting unit, wherein the printing apparatus inhibits printing of the print data different from the test chart and accepted by the accepting unit until a user input is input in response to the notifying by the notifying unit.
