Title:

PRINTER, AND METHOD OF SETTING REST TIME OF THERMAL HEAD

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP2007076217

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

To provide a printer which can shorten a total (entire) printing time by suitably setting a rest time of a thermal head when printing is carried out continuously by a large amount, and to provide a method of setting a rest time of a thermal head.

A temperature of the thermal head 40 and information on the rest time corresponding to the temperature are made corresponding to each other beforehand and stored in a rest time setting table 31. Every time a predetermined constant number of sheets (for example, 10 sheets) are printed, the rest time corresponding to the temperature of the thermal head 40 is acquired with reference to the rest time setting table 31 on the basis of temperature information of the thermal head 40. The thermal head 40 is rested for cooling according to the rest time.
