A printing apparatus includes: a printing unit; an operation unit configured to be able to rotate about a rotation axis to a first operation position and a second operation position; a paper discharge tray configured to be able to move in a front-rear direction; a movement unit configured to move the paper discharge tray; a rotating mechanism configured to cause the operation unit from the first operation position to the second operation position in association with movement of the paper discharge tray; and a control unit, in which the paper discharge tray is able to move to an accommodating position, a loading position, and a stand-by position, when a position of the operation unit is the first operation position and the paper discharge tray moves between the accommodating position and the stand-by position, the rotating mechanism causes the operation unit to rotate from the first operation position to the second operation position, and when a position of the paper discharge tray is the accommodating position and the first condition is satisfied, the control unit performs first control in which the paper discharge tray is moved to the stand-by position.
In the printing apparatus, the paper discharge tray, which is able to move in the front-rear direction, is able to move to the accommodating position, the loading position, and the stand-by position. When the position of the operation unit is the first operation position and the paper discharge tray moves between the accommodating position and the stand-by position, the rotating mechanism, which causes the operation unit to rotate from the first operation position to the second operation position in association with movement of the paper discharge tray, causes the operation unit to rotate from the first operation position to the second operation position. When the position of the paper discharge tray is the accommodating position and the first condition is satisfied, the control unit causes the paper discharge tray to move to the stand-by position.
