Abstract
A printer device includes a transport mechanism that transports a continuous sheet in which a plurality of printing media are spaced apart from each other by a gap width and attached on a mount, a transmission sensor that detects transmittance of the continuous sheet, and a control unit that adjusts the transmission sensor. The control unit transports the continuous sheet in the +Y direction by using the transport mechanism, performs reverse transport control to transport the continuous sheet in the −Y direction by a reverse-feed distance that is greater than the gap by using the transport mechanism when the head position of a printing medium is detected by the transmission sensor, and adjusts the transmission sensor after the reverse transport control.
