  • Patent number: 11889037
    Abstract: A printer includes a printing unit powered from a battery which is charged by a charge IC, and a processor. The processor sets a mode of the printer to a print mode, and sets the mode to a low-power mode in which total power consumption of the printer is lower than that in the print mode, in a state that the printing unit stops printing. In a case where the processor sets the mode to the low-power mode, the processor sets the mode to a first low-power mode, in which the charge IC is driven at a first SW frequency, when the charge IC works to charge the battery, and sets the mode to a second low-power mode, in which the charge IC is driven at a second SW frequency lower than the first SW frequency, when the charge IC stops the charge of the battery.
