Printing device for use with a continuous sheet of paper

摘要

A printing device that produces printed pieces of paper having no blank is provided, which can precisely position the print to contents on the back side of the printing paper. A mark (36) is provided in a blank area (38) on the back side of printing paper (3a). A sensor (7) senses the mark (36), whereby the position of a regular-form print area (37) adjacent to the blank area (38) on the printing paper (3a) can be recognized. A thermal head (1a) and a cutter (6) print the printing paper (3a) and cuts the blank area (38) away on the basis of the sense output. Accordingly, it is possible to produce a printed piece of paper having a desired print on the front side and a regular-form print on the back side printed without positional misalignment and without blank in the feed direction, with the mark (36) removed therefrom.
