Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printer which interrupts printing onto a label and cuts off the label when there is the possibility that a disturbance in a printing image of the label occurs.SOLUTION: A control section 51 of a printer 1 drives a print head 17 and a conveyance section 30 and performs printing onto labels 5 (a step ST1), when detecting an end edge of a label sheet 6, determines whether or not a rear edge of a label to be printed 5T can be conveyed up to a downstream side from a printing position P2 before a conveyance amount by the conveyance section 30 reaches a predetermined amount N concerning the label to be printed 5T in the middle of the printing out of the labels 5 (a step ST2), when conveyance is determined to be impossible, interrupts the printing onto the label to be printed 5T by the print head 17 (a step ST3), and controls the conveyance section 30, disposes the label to be printed 5T at a cut-off position P3, and cuts off the label to be printed 5T by a cutter mechanism 18 (a step ST4).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】ラベルの印刷画像に乱れが発生する可能性がある場合に、ラベルへの印刷を中断して当該ラベルを切断する印刷装置提供すること。【解決手段】プリンター1の制御部51は、印刷ヘッド17および搬送部30を駆動してラベル5に印刷を行い(ステップST1)、ラベル用紙6の終端を検出したときに、ラベル5のうち印刷途中の印刷対象ラベル5Tについて、搬送部30による搬送量が所定量Nに達する前に当該印刷対象ラベル5Tの後端を印刷位置P2よりも下流側まで搬送可能か判定し(ステップST2)、搬送が可能でないと判定された場合に、印刷ヘッド17による印刷対象ラベル5Tへの印刷を中断し(ステップST3)、搬送部30を制御して印刷対象ラベル5Tを切断位置P3に配置してカッター機構18により当該印刷対象ラベル5Tを切断する(ステップST4)。【選択図】図4
