A paper pressing force controller of a printer includes a pressing roller that contacts a transfer roller for receiving a paper sheet therebetween. Guide rollers supply the paper sheet between the transfer roller and the pressing roller and a pressure sensing unit senses the pressure variations according to the thickness variations of the paper sheet supplied between the guide rollers. A pressure changing unit controls a pressing force of the pressing roller against the paper sheet by moving the pressing roller vertically with respect to the transfer roller.
