1. A printing device comprising:
a printing unit printing on a recording paper;
a feeder unit having a roller that rotates about a shaft and feeds the recording paper and a motor that rotates the shaft;
a detection unit detecting the rotation of the shaft; and
a control unit controlling the printing unit, wherein
the control unit calculates an electrifying time during which the printing unit is electrified and a non-electrifying time during which the printing unit is not electrified following the electrifying time, based on a detection signal from the detection unit, and
when the calculated non-electrifying time is less than a predetermined time, the control unit corrects the non-electrifying time in such a way that the non-electrifying time becomes equal to or longer than the predetermined time, and causes the printing unit to print.
