Abstract:
1. A printer, comprising: a printing head configured to execute printing in units of columns of dots; a feed roller configured to feed a print medium; a motor configured to drive the feed roller; a drive control section configured to control driving of the printing head and the motor; and a memory section that memorizes a predicted idling amount of the motor, the predicted idling amount being a predicted amount which the motor rotates by the time when the feed roller has fed the print medium to a position where a next column of dots are to be printed after drive of the motor starts, wherein in case of halting and restarting printing operation, the drive control section implements printing of data for a first dot column to be printed at printing restart after driving the motor by a first driving amount, further restarts printing from the first dot column data after driving the motor by a second driving amount, and a sum of the first driving amount and the second driving amount corresponds to the idling amount.
