Abstract:
There is provided a printing apparatus including: a frame; a platen facing a thermal head; a moving mechanism having first and second rollers; a motor; a transmitting mechanism; a clutch provided on the transmitting mechanism; a communication interface performing communication with an external apparatus; and a controller. The controller is configured to: start the driving of the motor toward one direction in a state that the clutch is in the connected state, after receiving a print signal, indicating that the print medium is located at a printable position; and to allow the clutch to be in a cutoff state and stop the driving of the motor toward the one direction, after ending of printing in accordance of the receiving of the print signal and before arrival of the moving mechanism at an end on a second side, opposite to the first side, in the specified direction of the moving range.

Claim (Index 4):
The printing apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a sensor configured to detect a position of the moving mechanism and to output a signal in accordance with the detected position,\n wherein the controller performs determination as to whether the moving mechanism is located at the end on the second side of the moving range, based on the signal output from the sensor, and the controller allows the clutch to be in the connected state under a condition that the controller determines that the moving mechanism is located at the end on the second side of the moving range.
