Abstract

The invention provides a printer and a method for driving the same. According to one embodiment, a printer includes a holder, a conveyor, a print head, and a conveyance controller. The holder is configured to hold a printing medium wound in a roll, the printing medium having an adhesive surface and a printing surface. The conveyor is configured to release a free end of the printing medium from the roll held by the holder to convey the printing medium. The print head is configured to print information on the printing surface of the printing medium when the printing medium is conveyed by the conveyor. The conveyance controller is configured to control the conveyance speed of the printing medium conveyed by the conveyor such that the printing medium is conveyed at a first acceleration from rest for a predetermined period of time and then a second acceleration to reach a target conveyance speed, wherein the first acceleration is less than the second acceleration.

Description

[0001] Related Application Cross Reference [0002] This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-148141 filed on Jun. 29, 2010, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] Embodiments described herein relate to a printer and a method for driving the printer. Background technique [0004] In the related art, there is known a label printer for printing information on a linerless label without a backing sheet. [0005] In label printers, linerless labels having an adhesive surface and a printing surface are wound into a roll that is rotatably held by a stand. As linerless labels are conveyed, platen rollers are rotationally driven to pull the free ends of the linerless labels from the roll held by the support. During this transport process, the printhead prints information on the print surface of the linerless label. [0006] The conventional label printers mentione...
