  • Printer with automatic print-mode setting device
    Patent number: 4756636
    Abstract: A printer adapted to be optionally equipped with a sheet feeder, including a detector for detecting the installation of the sheet feeder, and a default-value setter for automatically setting a default value of a printing controller to a value for establishing a continous printing mode if the sheet feeder is installed, and for automatically setting the default value to a value for establishing a single-page printing mode if the sheet feeder is not installed. The printer further includes an operator-controlled default-value changeover device for changing the normally selected printing mode set by the default-value setter. In the continuous printing mode, cut sheets are continuously supplied one after another to the printer. In the single-page printing mode, the printing operation is stopped at the end of printing on each cut sheet.
