Abstract

A printer capable of printing a relatively narrow uncut sheet (56) or a relatively wide cut sheet (55) has a paper feeding apparatus for the selective printing. The paper feeding apparatus includes an uncut sheet feeding mechanism for feeding the uncut sheet from a roll of the uncut sheet to the gap formed between a printing head (3) and the platen (57), and a cut sheet feeding mechanism for feeding the cut sheet to the gap between the printing head (3) and the uncut sheet on the platen (57). The uncut sheet feeding mechanism and the cut sheet feeding mechanism are selectively driven to feed either the uncut sheet or the cut sheet (55).
