Abstract:
Technology enabling accurately detected marks on a print medium according to the type of print medium is provided. A printer  1  has a media type identifier  110  that determines the type of medium; a mark sensor  76  that projects light and detects a mark on the medium; and an emittance controller  111  that sets the emittance level of the light the mark sensor  76  projects. The printer  1  can change the operating mode according to the type of medium M identified by the media type identifier  110 . In the white medium mode, the mark sensor  76  detects a mark MR with the emittance level set to a white medium emittance level. In the non-white medium mode, the mark sensor  76  detects a mark MR with the emittance level set to a non-white medium emittance level, which is higher than the white medium emittance level.

Claim (Index 1):
A printing device comprising:\n a media type identifier configured to identify a type of a print medium; a detection device configured to project light and detect a mark on the print medium; and an emittance controller configured to set an emittance level of light the detection device projects; the printing device changing an operating mode according to the type of print medium identified by the media type identifier to a first mode used to process a print medium having greater reflectance of light than the mark, or a second mode used to process a print medium having less reflectance of light than the mark; the detection device detecting a mark with the emittance level set by the emittance controller to a first level in the first mode, and detecting a mark with the emittance level set by the emittance controller in the second mode to a second level, which is higher than the first level.
