Abstract
The present invention provides a printing apparatus that selects a suitable speed, thereby enabling a rapid printing operation with printing quality maintained. In the printing apparatus, the number of heating elements for every printing line is counted. A printing constant speed is determined based upon the dividing number of a thermal head selected from the counting result. When the printing constant speed is changed, a corresponding numerical table is selected and set from a printing speed accelerating table and a printing speed decelerating table stored in a ROM and set for every printing constant speed.
