Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a thermal head is provided opposite to a platen roller. A ribbon transport unit transports an ink ribbon between the thermal head and the platen roller. A transport unit transports a sheet carrying a label between the thermal head and the platen roller. A clamping mechanism clamps the ink ribbon, a printing area of the label and the sheet in the thermal head and the platen roller. An acquisition unit acquires first print data to be printed on a first label and second print data to be printed on a second label. A non-printing area specifying unit specifies a non-printing area on the sheet, based on the first print data and the second print data. The control unit separates the ink ribbon and the sheet when it is transported between the thermal head and the platen roller, and stops the transport of the ink ribbon.

Claim (Index 6):
The printer according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the acquisition unit acquires the print data of a plurality of labels after the first label when the transport unit transports the sheet carrying the first label, the non-printing area specifying unit specifies all the non-printing areas from the plurality of print data, and the control unit starts printing by the thermal head, after specifying the non-printing area having a dimension not less than the threshold along the transport direction of the sheet, among all the non-printing areas.
