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 10):
The printing apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to:\n compare the number of first printing dots to the number of second printing dots,\n wherein the first printing dots are to be specified based on one of the two pieces of printing line data and are set to be printed on the medium, and \n the second printing dots are to be specified based on the other of the two pieces of printing line data and are set to be printed on the medium, and \n determine the specific line, based on a result of the comparison.
