Abstract
A printer includes a platen roller conveying a label sheet, a first motor rotating the roller, a print head facing the roller and printing on a label of the sheet, a discharge port, a winding roller for winding the sheet from which the label has been detached, a second motor rotating the winding roller, a drive train by which a rotational force can be transmitted from the second motor to the winding roller, and a processor controlling the motors to rotate in a first direction to convey the sheet in a forward direction and controlling the head to print on a first label of the sheet, and after the label is discharged, controlling the motors to rotate in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The drive train disengages the winding roller from the second motor when the second motor is controlled to rotate in the second direction.
