Continuous medium printing apparatus

摘要

A continuous medium printing apparatus prints on a continuous medium (1) on which a plurality of folding perforations (1c) are formed in a separated relationship by a fixed distance from each other. The apparatus has a continuous medium mounting section (731, 732) onto which the continuous medium (1) is to be mounted when automatic loading of the continuous medium (1) into the apparatus is to be started. A perforation position indication section indicates a position of the continuous medium mounting section (731, 732) at which the continuous medium (1) is to be mounted as an arrangement position of any of the perforations (1c). A perforation position determination section (100) determines an arrangement position of any of the perforations (1c) to be indicated by the perforation position indication section in accordance with a printing condition for the continuous medium (1). Such a printing apparatus can avoid errors in mounting of the continuous medium without relying on an operator to discriminate between different printing nodes or types of medium.
