Abstract
A printer includes a conveyor, a print head, a platen roller, an actuator, and a controller. The platen roller applies a conveying force by rotating while pinching a medium between the platen roller and the print head. The controller is configured to: enable a saving mode in which the print head is moved to a first position when a first area of the medium passes, and the print head is moved to a second position when a second area of the medium passes; detect a difference between a first conveyance amount of the medium when the actuator is in the saving mode, and a second conveyance amount of the medium when the print head is in the first position; and adjust a setting corresponding to the first conveyance amount so as to eliminate the difference.
