An apparatus for determining the print region for individual sheets of paper for use in a printer is provided. A paper sheet feeder for feeding the individual sheets of paper is supported on the printer. A sensor detects the presence of a sheet of paper fed by the paper sheet feeder. A microprocessor measures the length of the individual sheet of paper based upon the detection from the detector and provides a measurement value. The microprocessor computes the size of a possible print region of each sheet paper based upon this measurement value and displays the size of a possible print region on a display. Memory associated with the printer stores the size of the possible print region for setting the internal condition of the printer upon the introduction of power to the printer.

An apparatus for determining the possible print region of individual sheets of paper for use in a printer comprising paper sheet feeder means for feeding said individual sheets of paper to the printer in a paper feed direction, sensor means for detecting the presence of a sheet of paper fed by the paper sheet feeder means, measuring means for measuring the length of an individual sheet of paper by feeding a first sheet of paper and sensing the presence of paper until the full length of the paper has been ejected from the printer and measured and providing a measurement value in response thereto, computing means for computing the size of a possible print region of each sheet of paper based upon the measurement value corresponding to the entire length of the sheet of paper, printing means for printing the computed size of the possible print region, the sensor means being positioned upstream in the paper feed direction from the print means, the print means printing the computed size of the print region onto the sheet of paper when the sheet of paper has completely passed the sensor means so that the full length of said paper is ejected by the paper sheet feeder means; and storage means for storing the size of the possible print region and setting the operating parameters of the printer when power is introduced to the printer, and when printing is to occur on a sheet of paper, said paper sheet feeder means moving said sheet of paper to a predetermined position in accordance with said operating parameter of the printer.
