Abstract
A rebel printer includes an estimation unit that estimates a remaining amount of a roll sheet based on R=PF/(π·REV) (Equation (1)). A first measurement unit resets the measured cumulative rotation amount each time the remaining amount of the roll sheet is estimated or each time the remaining amount of the roll sheet is estimated multiple times, A second measurement unit resets the measured cumulative conveyance amount each time the remaining amount of the roll sheet is estimated or each time the remaining amount of the roll sheet is estimated multiple times, and the estimation unit performs a filter process on A diameter of the roll sheet calculated using the Equation (1), and estimates the diameter subjected to the filter process as the remaining amount of the roll sheet.
