ABSTRACT:
A serial printer has a moving unit for relatively moving a printing unit and a printing medium in two directions orthogonal to each other, and a detecting unit for detecting a trailing edge of the printing medium. The printing unit and the printing medium are relatively moved in a fast scan direction to print on the printing medium print data of a printing width of the printing unit. The printing unit and the printing medium are then relatively moved in a slow scan direction by a fixed distance corresponding to the printing width of the printing unit. The printing operation is then repeated. The number of nonprint lines for a final printing width is calculated by the serial printer based on a position of the trailing edge of the printing medium detected by the detecting unit. The print data of the final printing width is printed so that print data corresponding to the number of nonprint lines is absent.
