Printing apparatus and printing control device

A printing apparatus comprising:

• a conveying device which conveys a record medium in a conveyance direction;
• a cutter which cuts out the record medium;
• a printing unit which prints an image on the record medium;
• a mark detector which detects reference marks indicating page start-positions of the record medium;
• a receiver which receives record medium type information;
• and
• a controller programed to, based on a content of the record medium type information, switch a cut position to be cut with the cutter between a first position being a position upstream in the conveyance direction by a predetermined one-page length from each of the page start positions and a second position being a position shifted in the conveyance direction by a prescribed length from the first position, wherein
• when the record medium type information indicates that the record medium contains a half-cut line formed at each of the page start positions of the record medium, the controller sets the cut position to the second position such that the record medium is cut at a position shifted toward a leading end of the recording medium by the prescribed length from each of the half-cut lines of the record medium.
