The disclosure discloses a printer including a feeder, a printing, a communication device, and a controller. The controller is configured to execute a temperature reception process and a printing control process. In the temperature reception process, first temperature data is received. The first temperature data is broadcast-transmitted from at least one other printer and corresponds to a first temperature inside the other printer. In the printing control process, a feeder and a printing head are controlled on the basis of the first temperature data to form a print on a printing medium and thereby generate a printed matter.

Provided herein is a printing apparatus including a printhead movable between a first position and a second position. The printhead includes a first substrate and a second substrate. The first substrate and the second substrate define at least a first burn line and a second burn line, respectively, of heating elements disposed adjacent to a first edge and a second edge, respectively of the printhead. A printhead bracket receives the printhead in one of the first position or the second position. In the first position, the heating elements of the first burn line perform a printing operation and the printhead bracket is configured to preclude operation of the heating elements of the second burn line. In the second position, the heating elements of the second burn line perform a printing operation, and the printhead bracket is configured to preclude operation of the heating elements of the first burn line.

A printing device includes: a printing unit printing on a recording paper; a feeder unit having a roller that rotates about a shaft and feeds the recording paper and a motor that rotates the shaft; a detection unit detecting the rotation of the shaft; and a control unit controlling the printing unit. The control unit calculates an electrifying time during which the printing unit is electrified and a non-electrifying time during which the printing unit is not electrified following the electrifying time, based on a detection signal from the detection unit. When the calculated non-electrifying time is less than a predetermined time, the control unit corrects the non-electrifying time in such a way that the non-electrifying time becomes equal to or longer than the predetermined time, and causes the printing unit to print.

A printer in one example includes a thermal printhead with resistive heating elements. A motor is provided in the printer for conveying paper to the thermal printhead. A power supply is provided to supply power to the thermal printhead and the motor. A processor is configured to cause the supply of power to the motor to be paused after the supply of power to the thermal printhead exceeds a power threshold value and then to resume the supply of power to the motor after a predetermined period of time elapses after the pause of the supply of power to the motor.
