In a printing apparatus, a feed controller initializes total feed data stored in a memory in response to an initialize instruction input thereto. The total feed data indicates a total number of lines to be totally fed and a direction to be fed. The controller updates the total feed data by feed data each time a feed instruction is input thereto. The feed data is designated by the feed instruction and indicates the number of lines to be fed and a direction to be fed. The controller supplies the feed execution instruction to a feed unit in response to a printing instruction input thereto. The feed unit is responsive to a feed execution instruction input thereto and feeds a continuous paper such as a fanfold paper in accordance with the total feed data and resets the total feed data when the continuous paper is fed. Thus, the printing apparatus performs a feed operation for the continuous paper.
