Abstract
A printing paperhas memory elementsarranged on an upper left corner and a lower right corner on the surface thereof. Each of the memory elementsstores printing information used for printing, such as a paper size and a paper type, and transmits the printing information by radio wave, when receiving radio wave of a preset wavelength. A printerhas two information collection unitsattached to a left end and a right end on a rear side of a carriage mechanism. Each of the information collection unitstransmits the radio wave of the preset wavelength and receives the printing information transmitted from the memory elementin response to reception of this transmitted radio wave. The printing paperis set in the printerand is used for printing. The printercarries out printing with settings of a paper size, a paper type, and a paper direction, based on the printing information received by the information collection unit
