Printing apparatus, method of controlling it, and data storage medium storing a computer program realizing the method

摘要

Printer control prevents a user from pulling printed roll paper before it is cut off the roll while still providing the printed paper quickly to the user. When the printing of the paper ends and before cutting the paper by a paper cutting mechanism (13) is completed, paper is ejected from an ejection opening (11) by driving ejection rollers (15, 16). When a paper sensor (17) detects the trailing end of paper, paper is held by ejection rollers (16) to hold the trailing end of the paper ejected from ejection opening (11) and wait for the user to remove the paper from the opening. <IMAGE>
