- the process proceeds to any one of A, B, and C below.
- the variation in the amount of movement of the recording paper 1c during forward rotation and reverse rotation of the stepping motor 31 is defined as the number of forward rotation steps of the stepping motor 31 depending on the finished state of the roller 26 and the load on the conveyance system of the recording paper 1c. Even when the number of reverse rotation steps is the same, the movement amount of the recording paper 1c may be different, and when the movement amount during forward rotation is large, when the movement amount during reverse rotation is large, There are three types when the amount of movement during rotation is the same.
- the stepping motor 31 If the amount of movement of the recording paper 1c during the forward rotation of the stepping motor 31 is larger than that during the reverse rotation, the stepping motor 31 is rotated forward by N1 steps, and then N1 + N2 + a steps. Reverse, and finally N 2 steps forward.
- the above “a” corresponds to the variation of the movement amount of the recording paper 1 c due to the forward rotation and the reverse rotation of the stepping motor 31.
- the stepping motor 31 is rotated forward by N1 steps, and then the reverse rotation of N1 + N2 steps is performed. Finally, rotate N 2 steps forward.
- the stepping motor 31 is rotated forward by N1 steps, and then Nl + N2 ⁇ Step a reverse rotation, and finally N 2 step forward rotation, and end the standby operation.
- the printing device obtained as described above prevents the paper jam due to the close contact of the recording paper when the stepping motor 31 is rotated forward, reverse, or forward after a certain period of time during standby, and the finished state of the rollers.
- the printing start position for the next printing when returning from the standby state is set. It has the effect of not shifting.
- the printing apparatus of the present invention facilitates replacement of roll paper, and enables opening and closing of the guide section from the cutter section to the discharge port.
- To prevent the recording paper from jumping out of the discharge port to prevent the recording paper from jumping out to eliminate the presenter, to perform an operation to prevent the recording paper from sticking to the print head or rollers, By performing the operation of pushing out the recording paper adhered to the printer unit, paper jam can be prevented, and the effects described in the description of each embodiment can be obtained.
- the present invention it is possible to realize a small-sized printer capable of easily exchanging roll paper and removing paper jams with a very simple configuration, and has an irregular-shaped printing output (variable length). It is possible to provide a small-sized printing device that can be reliably guided to the discharge port with a very simple configuration and is less likely to cause a paper jam, even if the printing is difficult.
- paper jams are less likely to occur during the next printing operation, even when the standby state for the next printing continues for a long time, or in harsh environments such as high temperature, high humidity, and low temperature and low humidity. It is possible to realize a small-sized printing device with high reliability that does not hinder the operation of one mechanism.
