The cutting control unit 20a of a printer 1 monitors the output value of a notch detection sensor 19 while conveying a recording medium, and calculates a position corresponding to the axis of symmetry of a notch where a cutting unit is to cut based on a starting position and an end position. The starting position is the position of the recording medium at the detection position of the sensor when the sensor output value exceeds a specific threshold. The end position is the position of the recording medium at the detection position when the sensor output value goes below the specific threshold after the starting position is detected. |
