PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printer that is equipped with a print head having a plurality of heating resistor elements which are arranged in at least one line at a part of a heat radiation member and adapted to record an image on a recording medium by using the print head and to provide a method for controlling the printer capable of suppressing difference in density in the image recorded on the recording medium. SOLUTION: This printer 1 is controlled by the method including a first process of supplying power to at least a part of the plurality of heating resistor elements in order to perform preheating, a second process of determining a first temperature of at least one position of the heat radiation member 11 and a second temperature of at least one of the heating resister elements in order to start recording of an image on a recording medium 40, and a third process of permitting the starting of the recording of the image on the recording medium 40 when the first temperature is higher than a prescribed temperature and the second temperature is higher than the first temperature.
