Abstract:
A printer according to an embodiment includes a communication interface that receives print data from an external device. A print head prints on a sheet, line by line according to the received print data. A motor drives a roller to transport the sheet, line by line according to the received print data. A processor configured determines, for a current print line, a target transport speed for transporting the sheet, and determines one or more intermediate speeds defined in advance and between a current transport speed of transporting the sheet and the target transport speed. The processor controls the motor to transport the sheet at each determined intermediate speed and the target transport speed, sequentially.

Claim (Index 14):
The method according to  claim 13 , further comprising:\n storing a plurality of transport control signal information each in association with a different transport speed range, wherein: the one or more intermediate speeds are determined as one intermediate speed in each stored transport speed range between the current transport speed and the target transport speed, and the motor is controlled to transport the sheet at each determined intermediate speed and the target transport speed by applying a control signal based on the transport control signal information associated with the corresponding transport speed range.
