Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a printing unit configured to print on a medium, a cutting unit configured to cut the medium, and an accommodating unit configured to accommodate cutting waste, in which the cutting unit is configured to cut the medium at a boundary between a downstream margin that is an area between a second end that is a downstream end of the medium and a print area, and the print area, and is configured to cut the medium at a boundary between an upstream margin that is an area between a first end that is an upstream end of the medium and the print area, and the print area, and gaps communicating with the accommodating unit are configured upstream and downstream of a position in which the medium is cut by the cutting unit in the transport path.

Abstract: A document reader includes a reading unit that reads an image of a document medium, a second driving roller pair that nips and transports the document medium downstream of a read-enabling position of the reading unit, and a control unit that controls rotation of the second driving roller pair. The control unit stops the rotation of the second driving roller pair in a state in which the document medium is not positioned in the read-enabling position and in a state in which the document medium is nipped by the second driving roller pair.
