PURPOSE:To prevent a printing action from being restarted by a manual operation after the interruption of recording in the absence of a recording medium on a recording position by mounting a means for detecting paper fed by a manual operation during the interruption of recording. CONSTITUTION:Based on a paper presence/absence state detected by a sensor, a state of the sensor at the time of printing completion or interruption stored in a register of a RAM 103, and the content of a down counter, which counts printable lines from the trailing end of a recording medium 9, stored in the RAM 103, a table 1, stored in a ROM 102 is referred. In accordance with these comparison results, a comparison result parameter is obtained. With a parameter '0', only the adjustment of a paper feed motor 35 is conducted, and a printing action is started. With a parameter '1', a massage 'Paper is inserted, or printing is started by depressing a printing start key 1A.' is indicated; with a parameter '2', a massage 'Paper state is checked, and printing is started by depressing a printing start key 1A.' is indicated ; and with a parameter '3', a massage 'Paper is inserted.' is indicated on a display part 6. An operator conducts the respective indicated operations. |
