According to the present invention, when a position detection mark is detected and a recording medium is processed, if the distance between the position detection marks provided on the recording medium at a predetermined interval is within a predetermined range, the position detection mark is detected first. Since the processing target position is determined based on the position detection mark, restrictions on the processing target position can be relaxed and the processing efficiency can be increased while the paper is appropriately transported.

さらに、プリンター２は、ロール紙２２の搬送に支障が生じているか否かを、ＢＭ間の距離に基づいて判定する。即ち、プリンター２は、ＢＭセンサー６４によりＢＭが検出される毎に、その前に検出されたＢＭとの間の距離を求め、本来のＢＭ間の距離Ｄ１１とのずれ量を算出する。このずれ量が予め設定された所定範囲内であれば搬送は正常と判定し、ずれ量が所定範囲を超えた場合は搬送に支障が生じたものと判定する。これにより、ＢＭを検出するＢＭセンサー６４を利用して、搬送の支障の有無を正確に判定できる。 Further, the printer 2 determines whether or not a trouble has occurred in the conveyance of the roll paper 22 based on the distance between the BMs. That is, every time a BM is detected by the BM sensor 64, the printer 2 obtains a distance from the BM detected before that, and calculates a deviation amount from the original distance BM between the BMs . If the deviation amount is within a predetermined range set in advance, the conveyance is determined to be normal, and if the deviation amount exceeds the predetermined range, it is determined that the conveyance is hindered. Accordingly, it is possible to accurately determine the presence or absence of the conveyance trouble using the BM sensor 64 that detects the BM.

処理位置制御部４３は、距離検出部４２が算出したＢＭ間距離と、記憶部４６が記憶しているＢＭ間距離の基準値とをもとに、ずれ量を算出する（ステップＳ３３）。次に、処理位置制御部４３は、算出ずれ量が記憶部４６に記憶されたしきい値を超えているか否か、即ち設定範囲内であるか設定範囲を逸脱しているかを判定する（ステップＳ３４）。 The processing position control unit 43 calculates a deviation amount based on the distance between BMs calculated by the distance detection unit 42 and the reference value of the distance between BMs stored in the storage unit 46 (step S33). Then, the processing position control unit 43 determines whether the amount Re sidelines calculation is out whether the setting range or within That set range exceeds the threshold stored in the storage unit 46 (Step S34).

また、処理位置制御部４３が、ずれ量が設定範囲を逸脱していると判定した場合（ステップＳ３４；Ｎｏ）、搬送制御部４４は、次のＢＭがＢＭセンサー６４によって検出されるまでロール紙２２を搬送させる（ステップＳ３９）。そして、次のＢＭが検出されると、距離検出部４２がＢＭ間距離のカウントをリセットして、ここで検出されたＢＭの位置からＢＭ間距離のカウントを再開するとともに（ステップＳ４０）、処理位置制御部４３が、ステップＳ３９で検出されたＢＭの位置に基づいて、より先頭側（下流側）の被カット位置ＣＬを決定する（ステップＳ４１）。
Further, when the processing position control unit 43 determines that the deviation amount deviates from the set range (step S34; No), the conveyance control unit 44 rolls paper until the next BM is detected by the BM sensor 64. 22 is conveyed (step S39). When the next BM is detected, the distance detector 42 resets the BM distance count, restarts the BM distance count from the detected BM position (step S40), and processing The position control unit 43 determines a cut position CL on the leading side (downstream side) based on the position of the BM detected in step S39 (step S41).
