PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printing medium and a printer using the printing medium in which an accurate residual quantity for each paper sheet roll can be detected, and in which an issuance history such as issuance error information or the like on the paper sheet roll can be known from the paper sheet roll.SOLUTION: A printer draws a belt-like paper sheet from a paper sheet roll 1 as a printing medium formed by winding the belt-like paper sheet around a hollow tube body to perform printing by a printing part, and cuts the belt-like paper sheet by cutting means, thereby issuing a flat paper sheet. The paper sheet roll 1 includes a non-contact radio tag 18 which is provided on the tube body and can read and write data in a non-contact manner. The printer includes: a reader/writer 16 which is a non-contact radio tag communication part for performing data communication with the non-contact radio tag 18; and a control part for performing the processing of writing or reading issuance information on the issuance of the flat paper sheet by the printing part to or from the non-contact radio tag 18 through the reader/writer 16.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】用紙ロール毎に正確な残量を把握することができるとともに、その用紙ロールにおける発行エラー情報などの発行履歴を用紙ロールから知ることができる印刷媒体、及び、その印刷媒体を用いた印刷装置を提供する。【解決手段】印刷装置は、中空の管体に帯状の用紙を巻回してなる印刷媒体としての用紙ロール１から、その帯状の用紙を繰り出して印字部により印刷を行い、切断手段により切断し、枚葉状の用紙を発行する。用紙ロール１は、管体に備えられた、非接触でデータを読み書き可能な非接触無線タグ１８を有する。印刷装置は、非接触無線タグ１８とデータ通信を行う非接触無線タグ通信部であるリーダ／ライタ１６と、印字部による、枚葉状の用紙の発行に関する発行情報を、リーダ／ライタ１６を介して非接触無線タグ１８に書き込む処理又は読み出す処理を行う制御部と、を有する。【選択図】図１
