Abstract:
A printer includes a frame including a discharge port, a fixed blade fixed to the frame, a movable blade attached to the frame so that the movable blade is opposite to the fixed blade across the discharge port, a driving mechanism that reciprocally moves the movable blade between a cutting position and a non-cutting position, a motor for the driving mechanism, a sensor configured to detect that the movable blade has reciprocated once between the cutting and non-cutting positions, and a control unit configured to control the motor to drive the driving mechanism at the time of cutting the label, measure a time taken by the movable blade to reciprocate once between the non-cutting and cutting positions, compare the measured time with a threshold value, and determine that a cleaning timing has been reached if the measured time exceeds the threshold value.

Claim (Index 7):
A printer comprising:\n a frame including a discharge port for discharging a label having an adhesive layer; a fixed blade fixed to the frame; a movable blade attached to the frame so that the movable blade is opposite to the fixed blade across the discharge port, wherein the movable blade is configured to be moved between a cutting position at which position the movable blade cuts the label fed through the discharge port in cooperation with the fixed blade, and a non-cutting position; a driving mechanism configured to reciprocally move the movable blade between the cutting position and the non-cutting position; a driving motor configured to drive the driving mechanism; a sensor configured to detect that the movable blade has reciprocated once between the cutting position and the non-cutting position; and a control unit configured to control the driving motor to drive the driving mechanism at the time of cutting the label, measure a time taken by the movable blade to reciprocate once between the non-cutting position and the cutting position a plurality of times, compare an average of the measured times with a threshold value, and determine that a cleaning timing of the fixed blade and the movable blade has been reached if the average of the measured times exceeds the threshold value.
