A continuous-paper electrophotographic printer prevents the printed paper from being either scorched or needlessly paid out during periods when printing is halted to enable receipt of a next batch of printing data. This is accomplished by reducing the paper feeding rate between printing periods. Thereby, the printer can rapidly proceed to a next printing operation when inputting of the next data to be printed is completed within a time period that is provided for checking whether the next set of print data is ready.
