In order to provide a thermal printer capable of reliably performing an electric disconnection inspection for a heating element in the case of an optical identification code such as a bar code, reducing frequency of the electric disconnection inspection as necessary, and performing the electric disconnection inspection suitably for a use condition, a thermal printer includes: a platen roller that feeds a paper sheet; a thermal head having a plurality of heating elements for printing print data on a print area of the paper sheet fed by the platen roller; and a CPU that serves as an inspection unit that inspects whether or not there is an electric disconnection in the heating element and a control unit that controls operations of the inspection unit. The CPU is configured to change the inspection frequency. |
