| 主权项 | 1. A printer comprising: a printing portion to perform printing using a thermal head; a first detecting portion to detect a first temperature that is a head temperature of the thermal head; a second detecting portion to detect a second temperature that is an ambient temperature of the thermal head; a memory portion to store control conditions of the thermal head, each of which is determined for each of the head temperatures under the one ambient temperature; and a controller which reads the control condition corresponding to an effective head temperature based on the first temperature and the second temperature, from the memory portion, and controls the thermal head in accordance with the relevant read control condition, wherein the controller obtains a weighted average of the first temperature and the second temperature based on weights which have been previously set to the first temperature and the second temperature, respectively, as the effective head temperature. | ||
