Abstract: A server apparatus 120, each time a process request is received from a client apparatus 110, stores the process request for a given interval and if the status of the server apparatus 120 at the time when the process request is received is standby, switches the status to a state of receiving a request. The server apparatus 120 also measures the elapsed time since the status was switched to the state of receiving a request and when the elapsed time since the status was switched to the state of receiving a request, reaches a given period, executes a process that corresponds to a process request stored in a temporary storing unit.

Abstract: A thermal printing mechanism includes a head unit having a heating element; an energizing unit that energizes the heating element; and an energizing control unit that controls the energizing unit to energize the heating element for a total energization time set according to a color density of a pixel so that the higher the color density is, the longer the total energization time becomes. The energizing control unit divides the total time period into energization time units, based on printing speed; specifies energization time units for energization so that a sum thereof is equivalent to the total energization time; and performs control so that if the printing speed is lower than a first printing speed, the energization time units appear continuous, and if the printing speed is equal to or higher than the first printing speed, the energization time units do not appear continuous.

Abstract: A printing apparatus 100 includes a detecting unit, which detects that a core part at a center portion of a recording medium 202, in a rolled state, has reached a predetermined position accompanying the consumption of the recording medium 202 in a recording medium accommodating unit 301 accommodating the recording medium 202, when the printer apparatus 100 is in an installed state; and further includes a moving mechanism that moves the detecting unit to a position whereby the detecting function of the detecting unit is deactivated.

Abstract: There is provide a printer having a rotational driving mechanism in which a print sheet can be fed in both of forward and reverse directions and a platen can be securely supported without dropping off from a head holder. The printer contains a head unit 4, a platen 20 that is freely rotatably mounted on the head unit 4 to support a print sheet and feed a print sheet through rotation, and a print head 53 for performing print on the print sheet supported by the platen 20. The head unit 4 has support grooves 10 for supporting the rotational shaft 21 of the platen 20, and a rotational driving mechanism 30 having plural gears for transmitting the rotational driving force of a driving motor 40 to a platen-side gear 22. The rotational driving mechanism 30 contains a gear 33 at the end side and two planetary gears 36 and 37.

Abstract: To improve precision in identifying the amount that remains of a recording medium, an apparatus includes a paper holder that supports an outer circumferential surface of a recording medium that is biased downward in a vertical direction by the weight of the recording medium, such that a position of a center of the recording medium moves on a straight-line trace, associated with consumption of the recording medium; and a light-reflecting sensor that is provided at a predetermined position at a side face of the paper holder and senses displacement per unit time at a position facing the predetermined position of the recording medium that is rotated by being pulled out of the paper holder, associated with the consumption of the recording medium, where based on the displacement sensed by the light-reflecting sensor, a radius of the recording medium at the time the light reflecting sensor senses the displacement is calculated.
