Abstract: In a printing apparatus, the thermal head includes a plurality of heater elements arranged in line. A sheet which is conveyed in a conveyance direction is nipped between a platen member and the thermal head. The urging member urges at least one of the thermal head and the platen member to approach each other to generate pressure to the sheet nipped between the thermal head and the platen member. The pressure varies in accordance with a position in a width direction crossing the conveyance direction. The processor sets energy to be supplied to the plurality of heater elements so that the lower pressure a portion of the sheet in the width direction receives, the higher energy is to be supplied to a heater element corresponding to a position of the portion in the width direction. The processor controls the set energy to be supplied to the plurality of heating elements.

Abstract: This is disclosed a printer comprising a feeder, a printing head, a take-up body, and a print control portion. The feeder feeds a recording medium. The printing head forms desired print in a predetermined print area of the recording medium fed by the feeder. The take-up body sequentially takes up the recording medium on an outer circumference part with a tip end region of the recording medium positioned on downstream side in a transport direction than the print area connected to the outer circumference part and produces a roll-shaped printed matter. The print control portion controls the printing head so as to form a print part for preheating the printing head in a position that serves as a border between the tip end region and the print area of the recording medium.
