In a case where a job for executing both one-sided printing and two-sided printing is received, printing is controlled based on whether or not a predetermined type of sheets in which there is an order between the sheets are used for the received job whereby productivity is improved in a case where the predetermined type of sheets are not used for the received job, and a mismatch between content of a page and an order of the sheets does not occur in a case where the predetermined type of sheets is used for the received job.

A medium conveyance device has an exterior and includes a conveyance unit configured to convey a medium in a conveyance direction from a front surface side of the exterior, a straight path through which the medium is conveyed toward a back surface of the exterior, a U-turn path branched from the straight path and through which the medium is conveyed in a reversed manner, and a discharge port through which the medium is discharged from the straight path, and disposed at a back surface side of the exterior, in which the discharge port is positioned at a front surface side relative to a position of a back surface of the exterior corresponding to a region where the U-turn path is disposed.

A recording apparatus having a support portion that supports a roll having a wound sheet, a drive portion, a conveying passage, a conveyer, and a recording portion. The drive portion rotates the supported roll in a first direction to feed the sheet from the roll, and rotates the roll in a second direction to rewind the sheet onto the roll. The conveying passage guides the sheet fed from the roll in a feeding direction and has first and second positions upstream of the conveyer in the feeding direction. The drive portion performs, before the sheet reaches the conveyer, a reciprocating operation in which the drive portion rotates the roll in the second direction in response to a leading end of the sheet reaching the first position and rotates the roll in the first direction in response to the leading end which reached the first position reaching the second position.
