In order to simultaneously deal with a plurality of roll sheets each having a different width, achieve increases in functionality and performance, and achieve reduction in cost so as to alleviate a burden on a user, provided is a thermal printer 1 including: a support member 13 for supporting a plurality of roll sheets P each having a different width; conveyor mechanisms 14 each including a conveyor roller 14a for drawing out or drawing back a recording sheet P1 from each of the roll sheets; a guide member for guiding the recording sheet drawn out thereof so as to be converged on a carry-out port; a thermal head including heating elements; a platen roller; a cutting member for cutting the recording sheet; a sensor for detecting whether or not the recording sheet has reached the platen roller; and a control portion 17 for controlling, based on a detection result from the sensor, rotational directions of the conveyor roller and the platen roller so that only a desired recording sheet is sent out from the guide member to a side of the platen roller, and controlling so that printing is performed while activating the heating elements of a number corresponding to a width of the sent-out recording sheet.
