Abstract:
A printing apparatus includes a thermal head and a processor. The thermal head prints an image on lines in a medium. The thermal head includes heat-generating elements to generate heat when a voltage is applied thereto in an application time, and the thermal head is controlled to sequentially on print each line. The processor is configured to: determine a specific line among lines based on printing data for printing lines, the specific line being a line estimated to have a possibility of sticking; and adjust the application time of an adjustment target line so as to be shorter than a reference application time, the adjustment target line having at least one line among lines, the at least one line being a line which is to be printed immediately before the specific line, the reference application time being set based on a temperature of the thermal head.

Claim (Index 9):
The printing apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein the adjustment data includes:\n target information which designates the lines among the plurality of lines to set the designated lines as the adjustment target lines, and adjustment information which sets an adjustment amount of the application time at each of the adjustment target lines, and wherein the adjustment amount of the application time at each of the adjustment target lines is set so that a difference between the application time and the reference application time is larger as each line is closer to the specific line.
