Abstract:
The disclosure discloses a printer includes a controller. The controller performs a first feed control process, a temperature-difference calculation process, and a first printing speed determination process. In the first feed control process, in a state where an energizing device does not perform energization to the heating element, the driving device is controlled to perform non-energization feeding while causing a thermal head to contact a print-receiving medium. In the temperature-difference calculation process, during execution of the non-energization feeding, a first deviation between two of the head temperatures which are respectively detected by the first temperature detecting device at different timings is calculated. In the first printing speed determination process, the printing speed is determined on the basis of the first deviation.

Claim (Index 1):
A printer comprising:\n a feeder configured to feed a print-receiving medium at a desired feeding speed; a thermal head including a plurality of heating elements; an energizing device configured to energize said plurality of heating elements; a driving device configured to drive said feeder; a first temperature detecting device disposed on said thermal head and configured to detect a head temperature of said thermal head; and a controller, said controller performing: a coordination control process for coordinating and controlling said energizing device and said driving device and for forming a print onto said print-receiving medium by said thermal head at a printing speed synchronized with said feeding speed; a first feed control process for, in a state where said energizing device does not perform energization to said heating element, controlling said driving device to perform non-energization feeding while causing said thermal head to contact said print-receiving medium; a temperature-difference calculation process for calculating, during execution of said non-energization feeding in said first feed control process, a first deviation between two of said head temperatures which are respectively detected by said first temperature detecting device at different timings; and a first printing speed determination process for determining said printing speed on the basis of said first deviation calculated in said temperature-difference calculation process.
