Abstract:
A printing apparatus includes first and second supplying portions, a printer, and a winding unit. The first supplying portion can supply a recording medium on a conveyance route to the printer for first surface printing. The winding unit then rotates in a first direction to wind the printed recording medium. A wound recording medium edge is located at a specific location and then guided to a conveyance route opening portion if the wind direction is a second direction. After the edge is at the specific location, the recording medium is supplied through the opening portion to the printer for second surface printing. If the second supplying portion supplies the recording medium for first surface printing, then it supplies the medium for second surface printing. If a user sets a wound-in-advance recording medium to the second supplying portion, the second supplying portion supplies the set recording medium to the printer.

Claim (Index 1):
A printing apparatus comprising:\n a printing portion configured to print to a first surface of a recording medium and a second surface of the recording medium opposite the first surface; a first supplying portion configured to supply the recording medium to the printing portion; a second supplying portion configured to supply the recording medium to the printing portion and that differs from the first supplying portion; a first print unit configured to print, by the printing portion, to the first surface of the recording medium supplied from the first supplying portion; a winding unit configured to wind the recording medium, supplied from the first supplying portion and having the printed first surface, around a winding member set in the second supplying portion by rotating the winding member in a first direction; a control unit configured to control a position of an edge of the recording medium wound around the winding member such that the edge is located at a specific location, wherein, in a case where the winding member is rotated in a second direction opposite the first direction, the edge is guided from the specific location to an opening portion of a conveyance route on which the recording medium wound around the winding member passes when the recording medium is supplied to the printing portion; a supply unit configured to supply the recording medium wound around the winding member to the printing portion through the opening portion by rotating the winding member in the second direction after the edge is controlled to be located at the specific location; and a second print unit configured to print, by the printing portion, to the second surface of the recording medium supplied from the second supplying portion to the printing portion after the recording medium is wound around the winding member, wherein, in a case where the recording medium supplied by the second supplying portion and having the printed first surface is wound around the winding member, the second supplying portion supplies the wound recording medium to the printing portion, and wherein, in a case where a recording medium that is wound in advance is set to the second supplying portion by a user, the second supplying portion supplies the set recording medium to the printing portion.
