Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in the above-mentioned method, the efficiency of heat transfer to the label decreases due to the reduction of pressing force.
As a result, since it is necessary to increase the power during printing, there is a possibility that power consumption will increase

Abstract

The invention provides a portable printer which can convey a label without decreasing the pressing pressure of a thermal head, and a control method thereof. A portable printer according to the embodiment includes a conveyance path, a printing part, a sensor and a conveyance control part. The conveyance path conveys a mount attached with a plurality of labels. The printing part performs printing to the conveyed label. The sensor detects the label on the mount. The conveyance control part decreases the conveyance speed of the mount after conveying the label a first distance from the position where the label is detected in accordance with the detection result of the sensor.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to a portable printer and a printer control method. Background technique [0002] Nowadays, in thermal printing, in order to effectively transfer the heat of the thermal head to the label, a prescribed pressing is required. However, in portable printers carrying small motors, there is a problem with labels not being able to go over the edge of the label as it passes the thermal head. The thicker the label, the more likely this problem will occur. Here, in order to solve such a problem, it is proposed to reduce the pressure of the thermal head so that it can easily go over the edge of the label. [0003] However, in the above-mentioned method, since the pressure is reduced, the efficiency of heat transfer to the label is reduced. As a result, since it is necessary to increase the power during printing, there is a possibility that power consumption may increase. Contents of the invention [0004] The prob...
