Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent breakage of a continuous recording sheet for efficiently performing smooth double-sided printing and for output of a stable high quality image. SOLUTION: A printing system includes a first printing apparatus P1 forming an image on a first surface of the continuous recording sheet and a second printing apparatus P2 arranged in the following step of the first printing apparatus to form an image on a second surface of the continuous recording sheet. The second printing apparatus includes: a printing unit 260 for forming a toner image on the continuous recording sheet; a conveying unit 8 for conveying the continuous recording sheet at a reference speed in the printing unit; a fixing-conveying unit 13 for conveying the continuous recording sheet and fixing the toner image adhering to the continuous recording sheet; a buffer unit 12 for taking up slack in the continuous recording sheet generated due to a difference in conveyance between the conveying unit and the fixing-conveying unit; a determiner 210 for determining a brake force for stopping conveyance of the fixing-conveying unit based on a buffer amount of the buffer unit due to the slack in the continuous recording sheet; and a conveyance control unit 220 for performing control to stop conveyance of the continuous recording sheet by the determined brake force.
