Abstract
In accordance with an embedment, a printer comprises a sensor configured to detect a position of a paper conveyed in a conveyance path; a first setting module configured to set a plurality of start candidate positions which are candidates of a printing start position in a paper conveyance direction based on a sensing result of the sensor; a test printing module configured to carry out a test printing for specifying the start candidate position on the paper for each start candidate position set by the first setting module; a reception module configured to receive selection of one start candidate position from the start candidate positions specified by the test printing; and a second setting module configured to set the start candidate position received by the reception module as the printing start position.
