Abstract
A printer which can accommodate both continuous sheets and cut sheets includes both a continuous sheet path and a cut sheet path. A printing section is provided in common for the continuous and cut sheets. A manually slidable continuous sheet guide plate is provided in the upper portion of the printing section. A detector detects operation of the continuous sheet guide plate. When the guide plate is slid so that the cut sheet path is closed and the continuous sheet path is selected, in response to the output of the detector the continuous sheet is fed to the exit of the continuous sheet path.
