Recording paper feeding apparatus

Apparatus for indicating a loading condition of recording paper to be transported along a predetermined travelling path along which is disposed means for recording said recording paper and means for cutting said recording paper in the downstream of said means for recording with respect to the advancing direction of said recording paper along said path, said apparatus comprising:

• first detecting means disposed at a first position in the upstream of said means for recording with respect to the advancing direction of said recording paper for detecting presence and absence of said recording paper at said first position;
• second detecting means disposed at a second position in the downstream of said means for cutting with respect to the advancing direction of said recording paper for detecting presence and absence of said recording paper at said second position;
• means for generating a first signal when both of said first and second detecting means have detected presence of said recording paper at said first and second positions, respectively;
• and
• means for moving said recording paper along said travelling path.
