Abstract
A printer is provided with a head, a platen, a conveyer, and a processor. The head performs printing on a print medium. The platen supports the print medium. The conveyer conveys the platen in a conveyance direction. The processor acquires a platen size. The platen size is a size of the platen in the conveyance direction. When the processor acquires a first platen size, the processor controls a conveyance operation of the platen such that a conveyance time period of the platen between a set position and a printing position is a first time period. When the processor acquires a second platen size, the processor controls the conveyance operation of the platen such that the conveyance time period of the platen between the set position and the printing position is a second time period different from the first time period.
