Abstract: An object is to reduce the complexity of an operation and precisely detects a jam occurrence. A mark sensor detects an end portion of a label pasted on a print target medium that is long paper and being conveyed. A control section acquires, based on a difference between a time point at which an end portion of a first label has been detected by the mark sensor and a time point at which an end portion of the next label has been detected by the mark sensor, an interval between the labels, and takes this interval as a reference point. Then, the control section judges whether an interval between labels detected by the mark sensor is more than the reference interval and, when it is more than the reference interval, judges that the conveyance of the paper has been stopped.
