The controller detects the recording paper by using the first sensor at least at startup, when the recording paper is detected, the recording paper is transported by the transport roller and is cut by the cutter, whereas when the recording paper is not detected, the recording paper is not transported by the transport roller and is not cut by the cutter, and when the communication section receives the print data, the controller performs printing on the recording paper by using the head.

Abstract: When an operation amount of an operation lever corresponding to a boom cylinder is equal to or smaller than an operation amount of an operation lever corresponding to an arm cylinder, an estimated velocity of the arm cylinder used for region limiting control is computed on the basis of a first condition defining, in advance, a relation between the operation amount of the operation lever and the estimated velocity of the arm cylinder. When the operation amount of the operation lever corresponding to the boom cylinder is larger than the operation amount of the operation lever corresponding to the arm cylinder, the estimated velocity of the arm cylinder used for the region limiting control is computed as a velocity higher than the estimated velocity of the arm cylinder computed on the basis of the first condition. The behavior of the work device can thereby be stabilized.

Abstract: In a pulse edge detection circuit, a measurement circuit has a comparator provided therein which compares a voltage with a reference voltage and outputs a pulse signal. An RSFF puts a signal in a high level at a timing at which detecting a rise edge due to a change of the pulse signal to the high level. In such manner, a set signal of an RSFF becomes inactive and a reset signal of the RSFF becomes active, and a fall edge of the pulse signal becomes detectable. When a fall edge is generated due to a change of the pulse signal from the high level to the low level, the set signal of the RSFF becomes active, and a signal becomes high level.
