To print on label paper using a head unit having a plurality of line printheads disposed at a specific interval along the conveyance direction of the label paper, a printhead moving step advances a head unit at a first position after printing ends to a second position, and a printing step prints a label while moving the head unit in the reverse of the conveyance direction. At the second position, the printing position of the last line inkjet head of the head unit is on the forward side of the start printing position of a label on the label paper.
