Abstract:
A printing apparatus includes a plurality of belt rollers that rotate, a direction in which a rotation axis of each belt rollers extends being a width direction that intersects a transport direction of a medium; a transporting belt that, while wound across the plurality of belt rollers, rotate to transport the medium in the transport direction; a print head that performs printing on the medium transported by the transporting belt; and a control unit that rotates the transporting belt while in a state in which an unrotated state of the transporting belt has continued for a predetermined period. When a rotation position of the transporting belt after application of power and before rotating the transporting belt is referred to as an initial rotation position, in a case in which a rotation of the transporting belt is to be stopped, the control unit stops the transporting belt at a rotation position that is different from the initial rotation position.

Claim (Index 4):
The printing apparatus according to  claim 2 ,\n wherein, when, in a circulating route of the transporting belt, an interval between adjacent initial wound portions is referred to as a reference interval, in a case in which printing is performed on a medium having a length in the transport direction that is equivalent to or longer than the reference interval, the control unit adjusts the belt transport start timing such that, from when the transporting belt starts the transportation of the medium until when the transportation thereof is ended, the medium is transported so that a number of the initial wound portions of the transporting belt in contact with a back surface of the medium becomes fewer.
