Abstract
A printing apparatus includes a transport roller applying a transport force to a label sheet having a backing sheet to which a label is attached, a printing head performing printing on the label sheet, a detaching roller configured to apply to the backing sheet a tension for detaching the label from the backing sheet at a detaching unit that detaches the label from the backing sheet and apply a transport force to the backing sheet from which the label was detached, and a control unit controlling the transport roller and the detaching roller, wherein the control unit controls driving of the transport roller and the detaching roller such that a front tension, which is a tension applied to the label sheet at the position of the transport roller, when the label sheet is back-fed to upstream in the transport path, is smaller than a front tension when the label sheet is front-fed to downstream.
