According to one embodiment, a printer includes a printing portion (3) to perform printing using a thermal head (6), a first detecting portion (TS1, 202a) to detect a first temperature that is a head temperature of the thermal head (6), a second detecting portion (TS2, 202a) to detect a second temperature that is an ambient temperature of the thermal head (6), a memory portion (203) 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 (200) which reads the control condition corresponding to an effective head temperature based on the first temperature and the second temperature, from the memory portion (203), and controls the thermal head in accordance with the relevant read control condition. |
