Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To discriminate front and rear sides of a medium while reducing consumption of the medium.SOLUTION: A storage section stores a rolled medium capable of performing printing on only one of front and rear sides. A thermal head 105 performs printing of a mark to be used for the discrimination of the front and rear sides on the medium when the medium is stored in the storage section. A photosensor 103 detects the mark to be used for the discrimination of the front and rear sides. A cutter 110 cuts the medium. A stepping motor 107 for paper feed performs paper feed of the medium. When the photosensor 103 detects the mark to be used for the discrimination of the front and rear sides, the stepping motor 107 for paper feed performs paper feed from the medium stored in the storage section up to a position where a region in which the mark to be used for the discrimination of the front and rear sides is printed is cut by the cutter 110, and the cutter 110 cuts the medium.
