Abstract
A printer including a cover state detector and a paper detector. The cover state detector detects whether a cover is opened with respect to a casing of a printer, whereas the paper detector detects whether paper is present within the casing. When the cover is opened, a detection result of the cover state detector is transmitted to a print controller prior to the time when a detection result of the paper detector is transmitted to the print controller.
