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 14):
The printing system according to  claim 13 , wherein the computer is configured to execute the determination of the n th  line, and the output of the specific line data to the printing apparatus, before the printing apparatus executes the printing, and\n wherein the processor is configured to: generate countermeasure data for adjusting the temperature change of at least a part of the plurality of heat-generating elements based on the printing data so as to suppress the occurrence of sticking in the second periods, and execute the generation of the countermeasure data before the printing apparatus executes the printing.
