Printer

Abstract

The invention relates to a printer. Recording paper is removed during midway printing from a printer which enables the reel-shaped recording paper to move in a reciprocating way and repeatedly prints the reel-shaped recording paper when the recording paper is printed again from the residual state on the midway printing. A storage mechanism (30 b) used for storing the printing state is arranged inthe printer which prints the reel-shaped recording paper, cuts the recording paper into specific length and discharges the recording paper outside after printing; and when an electric power source isswitched on, the recording paper is discharged outside in considerably maximum printing length and then is cut off under the circumstance of unfinished state of the previous printing, according to theprinting state stored in the storage mechanism as well as referring to the previous printing state.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a printer that prints on the recording paper a plurality of times by reciprocating the roll-shaped recording paper relative to the printing head to print, for example, different colors on the same paper. Background technique [0002] In a printer that performs multicolor printing such as color printing, printing is performed in four colors including three primary colors (yellow, magenta, and cyan) and black. As a printer for such multi-color printing, there is known a printer that prints different colors on the same paper surface by repeatedly printing a roll of recording paper while reciprocating it (for example, refer to Patent Document 1: Japan Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 8-67041). [0003] In the printer shown in Patent Document 1, printing is performed on the recording paper sent out from the supply roller by the printing head, the recording paper printed by the printing head of one color is stored i...

Problems solved by technology

In this way, printed matter that has been printed multiple times is not suitable as a commodity, and it is necessary to avoid such a phenomenon.

[0010] In addition, when overlapping printing is performed in the same printing area, since the ink ribbons are overlapped in the same printing area, the current ink ribbon may cause a peeling error due to the previous ink ribbon.
