A printing deviceincludes a platen rollerwhich feeds a thermal tape, a thermal headwhich performs printing on the thermal tape, and a control circuit. The control circuitrotates the platen rollerbackward to feed the thermal tapebackward in order to make a printing start area PT of the thermal tapereach a backward feed position more away from an outletthan a normal position NP of the thermal head. After that, the control circuitrotates the platen rollerforward to perform printing using the thermal head

Printing device, control method, and non-transitory recording medium

A printing deviceincludes a platen rollerwhich feeds a thermal tape, a thermal headwhich performs printing on the thermal tape, a half cutterwhich performs a half cut on the thermal tape, and a control circuit. After the half cut is performed, the control circuitcontrols the platen rollerto feed in a backward direction opposite to a direction of ejecting the thermal tapeinto an outlet until a printing start area of the thermal tapereaches a head position of the thermal head. The thermal headperforms printing on the thermal tapeafter the printing start area reaches the head position by the feeding of the thermal tapein the backward direction.

Printing device, control method, and recording medium

A printer includes a processor; a conveying motor that can operate in any one of a plurality of excitation modes, the conveying motor being configured to convey a printing medium; and a printhead that prints on the printing medium on the basis of printing data, wherein, with respect to each of at least some of the plurality of excitation modes, the processor estimates a strength value of a vibration that would be caused by said conveying motor when the conveying motor is operated in said excitation mode at a first conveying speed that is set based on the print data, and selects one of the plurality of excitation modes for actually operating the conveying motor based on the estimated strength values of the vibrations for the at least some of the plurality of excitation modes.

Printer, method of controlling printer, and storage medium

A printing device comprises: a print head configured to print a plurality of print lines on a medium to be printed, the medium being conveyed in a conveying direction; and a processor configured to control the print head. The processor is configured to: control the print head to print each of the plurality of print lines by a number of printing times which is once or a plurality of times by time division according to print data for printing each of the plurality of print lines; and in printing of a first print line and a second print line to be printed after the first print line of the plurality of print lines by the print head, the second print line being adjacent to the first print line along the conveying direction, control the print head to perform, after printing the first print line before printing the second print line, complementary printing that complements missing print estimated to occur between the first print line and the second print line in a case where a number of the printing times in the first print line and a number of the printing times in the second print line are set to different values from each other, and a number of the printing times is set to two or more.

Printing device, method of controlling printing device, and computer-readable storage medium

Provided is a printing apparatus which includes a thermal head having a plurality of heat generation elements whose temperatures are controlled by applying a voltage and performing printing on a printing medium and a head drive circuit being supplied periodically with a control signal and print data to control application of a voltage to each of the plurality of heat generation elements. One period of the control signal includes first and second voltage application control periods which are separated from each other. The first voltage application control period is a period in which the printing is performed by controlling the application of a voltage, and the second voltage application control period is a period in which the printing is not performed and a temperature of the thermal head is adjusted by controlling the application of a voltage.

Printing apparatus, control method of printing apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable recording medium

A printing device includes: The controller performs either of a first energization control to energize the heater elements in one line cycle for printing based on a single line print data among the multiple line print data and a second energization control to energize the heater elements so that a non-energization period in which the heater elements are not energized is included in the one line cycle, depending on a temperature of the thermal head.

Printing device, printing method, and nonvolatile computer-readable recording medium

A printing apparatus includes a print head configured to perform printing on a print medium line by line based on print data, a drive motor configured to convey the print medium in accordance with printing of the print data on the print medium, a processor, and a width detecting unit configured to detect a width information of the print medium. In a case where printing is restarted after printing on the print medium by the print head is paused, the processor controls a rotation direction of the drive motor to be a reverse direction opposite to a direction before the pause of the printing and determines a rotation amount of the reverse rotation according to the width information of the print medium detected by the width detecting unit.

Printing apparatus, control method and computer readable recording medium

An information processing apparatus includes an input unit, a display unit, a designation unit and an update unit. The input unit inputs a plurality of parts configuring one character. The display unit displays the plurality of parts. The designation unit designates one or more parts selected from the plurality of parts by a user. The update unit updates a display on the display unit such that the designated one or more parts are deleted from the one character and the other parts are remained displayed on the display unit.

Information processing apparatus, printing apparatus, information processing method and storage medium for printing character including plurality of parts

A printing device, including: a print data creator creating print data to print on a medium; a head printing on the medium on a line basis based on the print data; a drive motor conveying the medium as the print data are printed on the medium; a printing control data creator creating printing control data controlling the head and drive motor, the printing control data including control data to pause printing on the medium by the head; and a backward rotation controller determining based on state of the print data or the printing control data whether to rotate the drive motor in the opposite direction to before the printing on the medium by the head is paused while the printing on the medium by the head is paused.
