Abstract:
There is provided a printing apparatus having a transfer member that moves to cyclically pass through a formation area of an ink image and a transfer area where the ink image is transferred to a cut sheet, and a supply that supplies the cut sheet to the transfer member continuously. The printing apparatus controls, when continuously printing on a plurality of cut sheets of the same size, stops the supply of the cut sheet based on a time taken to process image data representing an image of a print target, does not form the ink image in a partial area on the transfer member that passes through the transfer area at a timing when the supply of the cut sheet is stopped, and forms the ink image in a remaining area, while continuing the movement of the transfer member.

Claim (Index 20):
The method according to  claim 11 , wherein in the controlling, while maintaining a moving speed of the transfer member, the print unit and the supply unit are controlled so as to stop the supply of the cut sheet by the supply unit based on the information concerning the time taken to process the image data representing the image of the print target by the image processing unit, and not to form the ink image in the partial area on the transfer member, that passes through the transfer area at a timing when the supply of the cut sheet to the transfer area is stopped, and to form the ink image in the remaining area.
