Claims (1)

[Claims for Utility Model Registration] A print head that prints characters, numbers, etc. on paper according to print data, a movement mechanism that moves this print head in conjunction with the printing operation, and a movement mechanism related to the movement of the print head. and a paper feeding mechanism for transporting the paper, an image sensor is provided in the moving mechanism so as to move substantially the same as that of the print head, and either the print head or the image sensor is moved. In a printer configured to be selectable for operation, a first printer storing predetermined font data
a second memory section that stores data read by the image sensor when manuscript paper is set in the paper feed mechanism and an operation on the image sensor side is selected; The data stored in the memory section is compared with the font data stored in the first memory section, the matched font data is read out from the first memory section, and the code corresponding to the read font data is externally transmitted. 1. A printer comprising: a control section including a processor for controlling transfer to a printer.
