CONTROL DEVICE, PRINTER, AND CONTROL METHOD OF A PRINTER

摘要

When printing a first line, a control device controls energizing heat elements corresponding to pixels where a dot is formed on a second line that is printed continuously. A control device of a thermal head having a plurality of heat elements arranged in a line includes: an acquisition unit that acquires information of pixels forming dots when printing the second line during line printing of a first line and a second line by continuous line printing by the plural heat elements; and an energization control unit that controls energizing the heat elements during the first energizing period based on image data related to printing the first line when printing the first line, and controls energizing the heat elements in the second energizing period when printing the first line based on the image data related to printing the first line and the pixel information acquired by the acquisition unit.
