Abstract

A split seal paper sheet in which the width of split seals composing the split seal paper sheet in the direction of conveyance of the paper sheet is smaller than the print width of a serial head is used. One or more of the split seals is/are positioned in one scanning region of the serial head, to print an image on the split seals. Line feed for printing on one or more split seals in the subsequent line is performed in such a manner that the line feed width is the same as the print width of the serial head. Consequently, the entire image is formed on one split seal without conveying the paper sheet (performing line feed). Even if a pitch between lines becomes non-uniform in conveyance of the paper sheet, the image on the split seal is not degraded.
