PRINTER, AND PRINTER CONTROL METHOD

The invention provides a printer, and a control method of a printer, that interrupt printing the label when the image printed on a label may become corrupted as a result of being unable to convey thelabel paper with a consistent gap to the printhead. A printing part of the printer drives a printhead and a conveying part and performs printing on the label. When the trailing end of the label paperis detected, whether or not a target label in the group of labels being printed can be conveyed so that the trailing end of said target label goes downstream from the printing position before the conveyance amount of the conveyance unit reaches a specific amount is determined. If said conveyance is not possible, printing the target label by the printhead is interrupted, the conveyance unit is controlled to set the target label being printed to the cutting position, and the cutter mechanism is then controlled to cut the target label. 本发明提供种在于标签的印刷图像中可能发生紊乱的情况下中断对标签进行的印刷并将被中断了印刷的该标签切断的印刷装置以及印刷装置的控制方法。打印机的控制部对印刷头以及输送部进行驱动
