Abstract
A printing apparatus connectable to an external power supply having outputtable voltage information, including: a printing head performing printing by electric power supplied from the external power supply; a resistor having an electric resistivity based on the printing head; a detector detecting a substantial voltage; and a controller configured to: obtain the voltage information from the external power supply; decide a tentative voltage; request the external power supply to output the tentative voltage; energize the resistor with the tentative voltage; decide the substantial voltage if a voltage corresponding to each of the obtained voltage information is supplied based on a result of the detector during the energizing of the resistor; decide an electric power supply voltage based on the substantial voltage; and request the external power supply to output the electric power supply voltage.
