Abstract:
A roll sheet with a continuous sheet wound in a roll form is rotated in a forward direction to supply the sheet to a printing unit. A sensor whose output is changed in accordance with a distance between the sensor and the sheet is used. A rotation direction of the roll sheet is switched from an opposite direction to the forward direction on the basis of the output of the sensor during rotation of the roll sheet in the opposite direction.

Claim (Index 2):
The printing apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising,\n a contact body configured to contact with an outer circumferential surface of the roll sheet held in the holding unit, wherein, in case where a leading end portion of the roll sheet rotated in the opposite direction passes through a contact position with the contact body, the contact body allows the leading end portion to be separated from the outer circumferential surface, and the sensor is disposed at a position which the leading end portion of the sheet separated from the outer circumferential surface approaches.
