Abstract
In order to provide a paper-feeding stepping motor driving method which inhibits the torque of a paper-feeding stepping motor of a line-type thermal printer, which is driven in response to the divisional energization of heating elements, from excessively increasing during dynamic division printing, and which achieves noise reduction and energy conservation, while a driving signal to be applied to the paper-feeding stepping motor is active, an active pulse is subdivided.
