For example, if the insertion of the recording medium from the second insertion port is detected, it is determined that a thick paper has been inserted. (S1 and S2 in Figure 5), increase the torque of the drive unit of the conveyance system, or increase the printing speed and paper feed to avoid bending the paper as much as possible (S3 and S4 in Figure 5). may be controlled according to the paper quality (flow chart shown in FIG. 5). Furthermore, the discharge may also be controlled (FIG. 5 SS). Further, although the details have been omitted in the present invention, it goes without saying that it has a control section such as C20 that controls paper feed, paper sensor, carriage feed, etc. Note that the sensor may be an optical sensor such as a microswitch or a limiter. Further, the drive may be a servo or a pulse motor.
