<p>PURPOSE:To make it possible to avoid waste of a medium, by conveying a treated medium to a discharge section where the medium is cut at the trailing edge of the treated part, and thereafter, by conveying the medium in the reverse direction to be discharged into a medium storage section. CONSTITUTION:After a discharge instruction is issued from a discharge instructing section 6, a conveying means 5 receives this discharge instruction and therefore conveys a medium 1 toward a medium discharge section 4. Further, the conveying means 5 stops the conveyance of the continuous medium 1 after the trailing end (xa) of a treated part (x) passes by a discharge position (b). Thereafter, the conveying means 5 receives an instruction which indicates that the continuous medium 1 is cut at the trailing end (xa) of the treated part (x), and therefore, the continuous medium is is conveyed toward a medium storage section 2 so that an treated part (y) is discharged into the storage section 2 as indicated by a position (c). With this arrangement, the discharge operation of the continuous medium 1 is completed, and therefore, the loading of the next medium is carried out.</p> |
