A printing apparatus including a plurality of print driving units for printing a print dot on a print medium, a storage unit that stores a generated electromagnetic wave noise value which is a value of an electromagnetic wave noise to be generated by driving the print driving unit and an allowable electromagnetic wave noise value indicating tolerance of the generated electromagnetic wave noise, as electromagnetic wave noise data, and a control unit that controls driving of the print driving unit, in which the control unit controls the number of the print driving units to be simultaneously driven so as to be the generated electromagnetic wave noise value equal to or less than the allowable electromagnetic wave noise value.
