Abstract
Disclosed herein is a continuous medium printing apparatus for performing printing on both sides of a continuous medium. The continuous medium printing apparatus comprises: a conveyance system; a printing section; a feed-force adjustment section disposed on a downstream side of the conveying path from the printing section; and a feed-force control section. The conveyance system has a pair of conveyor rollers disposed on a downstream side of the conveying path from the printing section so that they are opposite to each other with the continuous medium therebetween, feed force being applied to the continuous medium by rotating the pair of conveyor rollers with said continuous medium clamped therebetween. The feed-force adjustment section varies said feed force by adjusting pressure of said pair of conveyor rollers with respect to the continuous medium. With this arrangement, the behavior of the continuous medium in the printing section is stabilized, and consequently, print trouble near the perforations in the continuous medium can be prevented.
