Abstract

A print device includes: a first opening via which a print medium is to be inserted or ejected; a second opening via which the print medium is to be ejected; a transport roller that transports the print medium; a housing that contains a transport route; a first sensor that detects presence of the print medium; and a second sensor that detects the presence of the print medium on an upstream side of the first sensor; and a processor. When a command designates the print medium to be ejected to the outside via the second opening and a length of the print medium determined from the detection states of the first and the second sensors is shorter than or equal to a predetermined length, the processor ejects the print medium to the outside via the first opening.
