1. A thermal printer comprising:
a sheet conveyance mechanism configured to be able to convey a sheet formed by attaching labels on a mount at a first speed, at a second speed that is slower than the first speed and at a third speed that is higher than the first speed; a ribbon conveyance mechanism configured to convey a ribbon; a thermal head configured to heat the ribbon to carry out printing of printing data on the sheet contacted with the ribbon; and a head moving mechanism configured to control the thermal head in a case in which a non-printing area is longer than a first distance based on the printing data to separate the ribbon from the sheet, wherein the ribbon conveyance mechanism stops the conveyance of the ribbon in a case in which the non-printing area is longer than the first distance, and the sheet conveyance mechanism stops the conveyance of the sheet in a case in which the non-printing area is longer than the first distance, restarts the conveyance of the sheet in a case in which the head moving mechanism separates the ribbon from the sheet, and controls the conveyance speed to the third speed higher than the first speed in a case which the sheet conveyance mechanism conveys the non-printing area. |
