PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printer in which, even when printing is halted and restarted, the occurrence of a gap between a dot column printed before printing stop and that printed after printing restart is suppressed. SOLUTION: The printer includes a printing head 13 that executes printing in units of columns of dots; a platen roller 17 that feeds a print tape T in synchrony with driving of the printing head 13; a motor 31 that constitutes a drive source for the platen roller 17; a memory section 130 that memorizes a predicted idling amount, which is the amount of idling predicted to occur when motor 31 drive starts; and a drive control section 140 that controls driving of the printing head 13 and the motor 31, wherein when printing operation is halted and restarted, the drive control section 140 drives the motor 31 by a first idling amount that is smaller than the predicted idling amount, implements printing based on data for a first dot column to be printed at printing restart, further drives the motor by a subtraction amount that equals the predicted idling amount minus the first idling amount, and then starts printing from first dot column data.
