A device for printing on a continuous sheet includes a motor for carrying the continuous sheet, a switching unit for switching a minimum unit of control of the motor depending on a paper size of the continuous sheet, and a position-detection unit for detecting a rotational position of the motor. The device further includes a stop-control unit for controlling the motor to stop at a position matching a selected minimum unit of control based on the rotational position of the motor detected by the position-detection unit.
