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

Claim (Index 10):
The printing apparatus according to  claim 7 , further comprising:\n an environment temperature measuring unit that is configured to measure a temperature around the printing apparatus, as an environment temperature, wherein the processor is configured to: set a number of lines in the target line group, based on at least one of (i) the environment temperature, (ii) the width of the medium detected by the width detection unit and (iii) the printing data.
