Printer

摘要

The disclosure discloses a printer including a controller to control a feeder and a printing head. A regular print mode includes a first cut-feeding process. In the first cut-feeding process, a print-receiving tape is further fed such that the print-receiving tape is positioned by stopping a feeding when a boundary position faces a cutter. A continuous print mode includes a continuous print feeding process. In the continuous print feeding process, the print-receiving tape is further fed such that the print-receiving tape is stopped with the boundary position facing the printing head. The controller is configured to execute a determination process and a second cut-feeding process. In the determination process, it is determined whether a predetermined environmental change condition is satisfied. In the second cut-feeding process, the print-receiving tape stopped is resumed such that the print-receiving tape is positioned by stopping when the boundary position faces the cutter.

主权项

1. A printer comprising:
a feeder configured to feed a print-receiving tape; a printing head that is configured to perform print on said print-receiving tape and is disposed on a feeding path of said feeder; a cutter that is configured to cut said print-receiving tape in a thickness direction and is disposed downstream of said printing head along said feeding path; and a controller, said controller being configured to control said feeder and said printing head in coordination with each other to selectively perform either a regular print mode or a continuous print mode, said regular print mode including performing a print formation process for forming a desired print while feeding said print-receiving tape and a first cut-feeding process for further feeding said print-receiving tape after completion of said print formation process such that said print-receiving tape is positioned by stopping the feeding when a boundary position of said print-receiving tape faces said cutter wherein the boundary position is defined as a boundary between a printed tape portion having said desired print formed thereon and an unprinted tape portion, said continuous print mode including performing said print formation process and a continuous print feeding process for further feeding said print-receiving tape after completion of said print formation process such that the feeding of said print-receiving tape is stopped with said boundary position of said print-receiving tape facing said printing head, said controller being configured to: execute a determination process for determining whether a predetermined environmental change condition is satisfied while said continuous print mode is selected; and control said feeder to execute a second cut-feeding process, in the case that it is determined in said determination process that said environmental change condition is satisfied, for resuming the feeding of said print-receiving tape stopped with said boundary position located facing said printing head by said continuous print feeding process such that said print-receiving tape is positioned by stopping the feeding when said boundary position faces said cutter.
