Abstract
A receipt printer comprises a discharge port configured to discharge a receipt; a conveyance section configured to convey a paper; a clamping section configured to clamp the paper in the front of the discharge port; and a controller configured to control the conveyance section to discharge the paper from the discharge port. The clamping section includes a fixed section and a movable section forming a paper insertion section, and the paper is clamped by the fixed section and the movable section if the paper is inserted into the paper insertion section. A paper conveyance direction in which the paper is directed to the paper insertion section is different from a paper discharge direction in which the paper is discharged from the discharge port. The controller controls the clamping section such that a front end of the paper is clamped with the clamping section by conveying the paper towards the paper insertion section and the paper is bent into a loop shape by further conveying the paper towards the paper insertion section from a state in which the paper is clamped by the clamping section to be discharged from the discharge port.
