Claim:
1. A printer comprising: a roll storage part configured to store a print-receiving medium roll having a print-receiving medium wound therearound, said print-receiving medium including a plurality of print-receiving parts and an element to be detected for identifying said print-receiving parts; a feeder configured to transport said print-receiving medium fed out from said print-receiving medium roll stored in said roll storage part; a driving device configured to drive said feeder; a printing head configured to sequentially form a desired print on said plurality of print-receiving parts of said print-receiving medium transported by said feeder so as to create a plurality of print parts; a cutter that is configured to cut said print-receiving medium, and is disposed downstream of said printing head along a transport direction of said feeder; a detecting device configured to detect said element to be detected; and a controller, said controller being configured to execute: a setting process for setting medium information based on input information for an initial setting, said medium information including at least an arrangement form of said element to be detected on said print-receiving medium; and a transport stop process for controlling said driving device based on a detection result of said detecting device and a setting result of said setting process to stop transport of said print-receiving medium in a state in which a predetermined intermediate position faces said cutter, said predetermined intermediate position being between a print part last in order along said transport direction and said print-receiving part located immediately after said print part last in order along said transport direction; said printer further comprising: a first operation device configured to perform an operation of transporting said print-receiving medium upstream along said transport direction by a first unit transport amount so as to correct a transport stop position of said print-receiving medium after said transport of said print-receiving medium is stopped by control of said transport stop process; and a second operation device configured to perform an operation of transporting said print-receiving medium downstream by a second unit transport amount so as to correct the transport stop position of said print-receiving medium after said transport of said print-receiving medium is stopped by control of said transport stop process; and said controller being configured to further execute: a first transport control process for controlling said driving device to transport said print-receiving medium upstream by said first unit transport amount in accordance with an operation of said first operation device or to transport said print-receiving medium downstream by said second unit transport amount in accordance with an operation of said second operation device.
