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 7):
The printing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:\n set, as the target line group, the (n\u22121) th  line, the n th  line, and at least one line which is printed continuously from the n th  line and which includes a (n+1) th  line, among the plurality of lines, and set the number of the lines to be included in the target line group, based on the printing data.
