ABSTRACT:
An article information printer is composed of a feeding mechanism for feeding continuous paper in which a series of label regions are provided, a SRAM for storing size data regarding a length of the label region, a printing head section for printing article information on the continuous paper fed by the feeding mechanism, and a control circuit for controlling the feeding mechanism on the basis of the size data stored in the SRAM to print the article information in the label region. Particularly, the control circuit has a feed sensing section for sensing ends of the label region from the continuous paper fed by the feeding mechanism, and a processing unit, responsive to start of power supply, for driving the feeding mechanism, measuring the length of the label region on the basis of a sensing signal from the sensing section which is obtained each time the continuous paper is fed by a preset distance, and setting a result of measurement in the SRAM as the size data.
