A printer and control method therefor improve the operability of loading paper to the printer, and specifically enable paper to be loaded reliably and easily with a simple operation. Opening of a release lever that is operated to load paper to the printer is detected to automatically start a paper feed operation. When closing of the release lever is then detected, paper transportation is stopped and the paper loading process is terminated. A paper detector can also be provided to detect the presence of paper, and the paper transport amount is then controlled based on paper detector output. When a predetermined amount of paper is transported through the printer, paper transportation is stopped and loading the paper is completed. <IMAGE> |
