ABSTRACT:
A multi-stage printer has an arithmetic section for calculating the next paper moving amount on the basis of a line position of a selected type stage of a plurality of type stages; printing is performed by a desired number of digits in a first line position by using first types selected from the groups of types; then, the distance from the printed first line position to a printed state-confirmable position away from the area opposed to the groups of types is calculated by the arithmetic section and the printing paper is moved by the paper moving means by an amount based on the result of the calculation thereby allowing the printed first line position to be moved up to the confirmable position; then, before printing in a second line position by using second types selected from the groups of types, the distance from the printed first line position now occupying the confirmable position to the second selected types is subtracted from a predetermined printing inter-line pitch in the arithmetic section and the printing paper is moved by the paper moving means by an amount based on the result of the calculation, thereafter printing is performed in the second line position by using the second types.
