A printer includes a transport path, a processing unit, a plurality of transport abnormality detection, a transport page state judgment unit, and a recovery printing control unit. A paper is continuously transported along the transport path. The transport path is divided into a plurality of transport sections in the middle of the processing unit. The transport abnormality detection units detect transport abnormality of the paper in the transport sections, respectively. The transport page state judgment unit judges state of the paper in each of transport sections. When one of the transport abnormality detection units detects the transport abnormality of the paper in one of the transport sections, the recovery printing control unit sets content of a transported page of the paper present in the one of the transport sections and content of a page following to the transported page as contents to be printed thereafter, and resumes printing.
