ABSTRACT:
In a printing apparatus, recording paper is fed from a paper roll to a platen roller, and is printed by a print head by an amount corresponding to one page, and then the printed recording paper is cut by a cutter. A curl removal member for removing a curl from the recording paper is shifted into an operative or curl-removing-position, and flexes or curves the recording paper from the paper roll, thereby removing a curl thereof. For finishing the printing operation after cutting the recording paper, the curl removal member is shifted into an inoperative position where it does not flex the recording paper, and the platen roller is rotated in a normal direction to remove a slack from that portion of the recording paper extending between the paper roll and the print head. For starting the printing operation, the platen roller is rotated in a reverse direction, and the curl removal member is shifted into the operative position to flex the recording paper, and then the printing of the recording paper is started.
