The user can learn when the end of the roll paper is near even when using roll paper that does not already have near-end markings. The printer 101 has a thermal head 8 that prints print data sent from a host computer 90 on roll paper 7, a near-end detector 17 that detects the near-end of the roll paper 7, and a near-end printing control unit 53. When printing on the roll paper 7 after the near-end is detected by the near-end detector 17, the near-end printing control unit 53 causes the thermal head 8 to print a near-end pattern 65 indicating the near-end of the roll.
