Abstract:
A printing apparatus includes a thermal head and a processor. The thermal head includes heat-generating elements and prints on a plurality of lines in a medium. The processor sets a second period within one of the setting periods. The second period is a time period for adjusting a temperature change of the heat-generating elements without printing on the medium, after a first period for printing. The processor determines a n th  line (n: an integer of 2 or greater) among the lines based on printing data. The n th  line is estimated to have a possibility of sticking in printing. The processor adjusts a temperature change of at least a part of the heat-generating elements in the second periods corresponding to at least the n th  line and a (n−1) th  line. The (n−1) th  line is printed immediately before the n th  line based on the printing data, to suppress the sticking.

Claim (Index 3):
The printing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the printing data includes each piece of printing line data for printing on each of the plurality of lines, and\n wherein the processor is configured to: generate the countermeasure data, based on at least the printing line data corresponding to the printing on the (n\u2212) th  line and the printing line data corresponding to the printing on the n th  line, and set the heat-generating elements at each line in the target line group to be applied by a voltage in the second periods to be same.
