Claims

[Scope of utility model registration request]

A line counter that manages the line position within one page based on information on the number of lines per page from the processing program that issues print instructions, an interface that reads paper end detection information from the printer, and how many pages to print after the paper end is detected. In a printer control system that has a page skip counter that manages page skip counters, the end of the paper is determined based on the line number information per page and the known value of the number of lines between the printer's paper end detection sensor and the print head. After detection, the number of pages that can be printed is determined and set in the page skip counter, and it is determined whether the printing position is on the first line of the page based on the line number information and the line counter. A page counter is counted down each time the paper passes the top position, and when the page counter indicates 0, the operator is requested to replace the paper, thereby minimizing the number of pages that cannot be printed on the paper. A printer control device characterized by:
