    Abstract: A conveyance apparatus is provided with a conveyance body that suction adheres and conveys a sheet form medium, and a pressing body that presses the sheet form medium against a suction adhesion face of the conveyance body that suction adheres the sheet form medium, the paper press roller pressing more strongly portions that are present at plural locations along the suction adhesion face width direction where the suction adhesion force of the suction adhesion face is weak than the pressing body presses other portions. The pressing body of the conveyance apparatus includes large diameter portions that press the sheet form medium at plural locations along the width direction, thereby preventing lift-off of the sheet form medium at suction hole unformed regions that are portions where the suction adhesion force to the suction adhesion face of the conveyance body is weaker than in the vicinity thereof.

    Abstract: There are provided an ink jet printing apparatus, a dummy jet method, and a program which can execute a dummy jet at a dummy jet execution timing in which a use status of a nozzle is taken into consideration. A non-jettable period and a required jetting amount of an ink jet head are set for each nozzle, and in a case where the dummy jet for a dummy jet execution nozzle is executed with a jetting amount insufficient for the required jetting amount, at a determination timing of determining the necessity of execution of the dummy jet, for the nozzle of which a total jetting amount in the non-jettable period is less than the required jetting amount, the dummy jet is not executed in a case where a period from a printing start to a next jetting timing is equal to or greater than a period obtained by adding a determination interval to a period from the printing start to the determination timing.
