PURPOSE:To enable paper feed without printing the part over a predetermined length before and after a spliced part by detecting said spliced part, by providing an optical means for detecting the presence or absence of a splicing tape or detecting the punched hole provided to a part separated by a definite distance in the forward side of the spliced part. CONSTITUTION:When the terminal 11b of paper is detected by a paper terminal detection sensor 12, an operator splices the terminal 11b of the paper and the start end of the other paper by a color splicing tape 19 having a perforation C provided to the center thereof at the position 15 wherein the terminal 11b of the paper is stopped on a paper guide board 14. By detecting the color tape 19 by a spliced part detection sensor 16, a line printer preliminarily counts the number of pages from the positions of the spliced part detection sensor 16 to a transfer part 5 and once stops printing when the spliced part of the paper reached the transfer part 5 and feeds the paper 11 without printing several pages before and after the paper spliced part before restarts printing. |
