1. A conveyance apparatus comprising:
a conveying unit configured to convey a print medium; and
a drive unit configured to drive the conveying unit such that the conveying unit conveys the print medium in a first direction at a print conveyance speed while a print head, which has a plurality of ejecting openings arrayed in a second direction intersecting the first direction, performs a printing operation for ejecting ink from the ejection openings on the print medium without moving in the first direction, and after the printing operation, the conveying unit conveys the print medium to a discharging tray,
wherein the drive unit drives the conveying unit such that in a case in which the print conveyance speed in the printing operation is slower than a specified speed, after the printing operation, the conveying unit discharges the print medium, on which the printing operation has been performed with conveyance at the print conveyance speed, to the discharging tray at the specified speed faster than the print conveyance speed in the printing operation, and in a case in which the print conveyance speed in the printing operation is faster than or equal to the specified speed, after the printing operation, the conveying unit discharges the printing medium to the discharging tray at the print conveyance speed.
