Abstract
A portable terminal has a thermal head. The portable terminal includes a first sensor unit configured to detect presence or absence of a sheet, a second sensor unit configured to detect information related to a mark provided on the sheet, and a sheet determination unit configured to determine a kind of the sheet. The sheet determination unit is configured to determine a kind of the sheet based on a result of detecting information related to the mark with use of the second sensor unit after the sheet is conveyed in a reverse direction with respect to a direction of discharging the sheet.
Claims9
A portable terminal having a thermal head, comprising:
- a first sensor unit configured to detect presence or absence of a sheet;
- a second sensor unit configured to detect information related to a mark provided on the sheet;
- and
- a sheet determination unit configured to determine a kind of the sheet,
- wherein the sheet determination unit is configured to determine a kind of the sheet based on a result of detecting information related to the mark with use of the second sensor unit after the sheet is conveyed in a reverse direction with respect to a direction of discharging the sheet.
A printing control method to be performed in a portable terminal having a thermal head, the printing control method comprising:
- detecting, by a first sensor unit, presence or absence of a sheet;
- detecting, by a second sensor unit, information related to a mark provided on the sheet;
- and
- determining, by a sheet determination unit, a kind of the sheet based on a result of detecting information related to the mark with use of the second sensor unit after the sheet is conveyed in a reverse direction with respect to a direction of discharging the sheet.
A program for causing a computer forming a portable terminal having a thermal head to implement the functions of:
- detecting presence or absence of a sheet based on a result of detection by a first sensor unit;
- detecting information related to a mark provided on the sheet based on a result of detection by a second sensor unit;
- and
- determining a kind of the sheet based on a result of detecting information related to the mark with use of the second sensor unit after the sheet is conveyed in a reverse direction with respect to a direction of discharging the sheet.
