PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printer that resumes printing on a long print medium without the generation of waste long print medium, even when the printer is stopped during the printing.SOLUTION: A printer includes: a conveying unit 58; an intermediate transfer belt 31; a secondary transfer unit 36 having a secondary transfer roller 35 that presses the intermediate transfer belt 31 against a secondary transfer backup roller 34; a fixing unit 60; a first roller 151 arranged on the upstream side of the secondary transfer unit 36; a second roller 152 arranged on the downstream side of the secondary transfer unit 36; and a sensor detecting a toner image fixed to the print medium as a detection mark. Upon receiving an instruction to stop printing, the printer causes the conveying unit 58 to stop conveying the print medium from the upstream side to the downstream side, separates the print medium from the intermediate transfer belt 31 and the secondary transfer roller 35 and brings the print medium into contact with the first and second rollers, and then causes the conveying unit 58 to convey the print medium from the downstream side to the upstream side and to stop the conveyance of the print medium on the basis of the detection of the detection mark by the sensor. |
