Abstract
The disclosure discloses a printer including a printing head, a DC motor, an energization control part, a short-circuiting device, a temperature detecting device, and a braking control part. The DC motor is configured to generate a driving force for feed by a feeder. The energization control part is configured to control energization by an energizing device. The short-circuiting device is configured to short-circuit a positive electrode and an negative electrode of the DC motor and brake when deenergized under control of the energization control part. The temperature detecting device is configured to detect a temperature of ambient surroundings. The braking control part is configured to control the short-circuiting device in accordance with the temperature detected by the temperature detecting device, to thereby variably control an operation mode of the braking by the short circuiting.
