Printer device with paper-shift control adaptable to different paper sizes

摘要

A device for printing on a continuous sheet includes a motor (22) for carrying the continuous sheet, a switching unit (18) for switching a minimum unit of control of the motor (22) depending on a paper size of the continuous sheet, and a position-detection unit (24) for detecting a rotational position of the motor (22). The device further includes a stop-control unit (19) for controlling the motor (22) to stop at a position matching a selected minimum unit of control based on the rotational position of the motor (22) detected by the position-detection unit (24). <IMAGE>
