Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3378661A1] A printing apparatus includes a transport belt that is formed as a loop and capable of supporting a medium, a drive roller that rotates the transport belt and thereby transports the medium in a transport direction, a printing section that prints an image onto the medium, and a control section that controls a transport action for transporting the medium. In the printing apparatus, the transport belt extends around a plurality of rollers that include the drive roller, and the control section accepts input of belt tension that is a tension generated due to the transport belt extending around a plurality of the rollers. The tension is imparted to the transport belt. The control section controls the transport action in accordance with a correction table in which the belt tension and traveling rate of the transport belt corresponding to the belt tension correlate with each other.
