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 8):
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a printing program for causing a computer of a printing apparatus to execute:\n starting driving of a motor toward one direction in a state that a clutch provided on a transmitting mechanism is in a connected state and moving a moving mechanism toward a first side in a specified direction, after receipt of a print signal from an external apparatus, the moving mechanism being movable in a moving range along the specified direction, the print signal indicating that a print medium is located at a printable position, the transmitting mechanism connecting the moving mechanism and the motor, the moving mechanism comprising: a first roller positioned upstream of a platen in a conveyance path of the print medium, and a second roller positioned downstream of the platen in the conveyance path, the platen facing a thermal head, the moving mechanism being configured such that a part, of the conveyance path, between the platen and the first roller becomes shorter in a case that the moving mechanism is moved toward the first side in the specified direction, and the part, of the conveyance path, between the platen and the first roller becomes longer in a case that the moving mechanism is moved toward a second side, opposite to the first side, in the specified direction; and allowing the clutch to be in a cutoff state, after ending of printing and before arrival of the moving mechanism at an end on the second side of the moving range, the printing being performed in response to the receipt of the print signal via a communication interface.
