Abstract

A printer comprises a first conveyance section which conveys a sheet; a cutter which cuts the sheet through either full cutting for cutting the whole sheet in a width direction or partial cutting for cutting a part of the sheet in the width direction with remaining part uncut; a second conveyance section which further conveys the sheet conveyed by the first conveyance section towards a discharging port; a housing section which houses a slack part of the sheet generated between the first conveyance section and the second conveyance section due to a conveyance speed difference between the first conveyance section and the second conveyance section; and a controller which changes at least one of the first conveyance section and the second conveyance section in a case in which the cutter cuts the sheet through the full cutting or the partial cutting.
