The disclosure is directed to a printer device including a printer body, a paper correction module, and a processor. The printer body has a media feed path. The printer body detects a width of the paper to output a paper size signal. The paper correction module is installed in the media feed path. The paper correction module includes two paper guiding arms and an actuating mechanism. The actuating mechanism is capable of driving the two paper guiding arms to approach or move away from each other. The processor is electrically connected with the actuating mechanism. After the processor receives the paper size signal, the actuating mechanism is controlled to space the two paper guiding arms with a preset interval.
