The method includes the following actions: measuring a voltage U given by the power source of the thermal printer; measuring an internal resistance r.sub.u of the power source; and computing a duration t for heating a number n of points as a function of the voltage U of the power source, the internal resistance r.sub.u of the power source, at least one effective resistance r.sub.d of at least one point corresponding to a dot to be printed for the printing of the data and as a function of at least one value of parasitic resistance r.sub.p of at least one element of the thermal printer.

The disclosure discloses an electronic apparatus including a charging device, a plurality of operation mechanisms, and a CPU. The CPU is configured to execute an information acquisition process, a voltage decision process, and a charging control process. In the information acquisition process, capacity-related information corresponding to a charging capacity required for operation of the operating mechanisms is acquired. In the voltage decision process, a charge stop voltage is decided in accordance with the capacity-related information acquired. In the charging control process, the charging device is controlled to stop the charging process by using as a trigger an attainment of the charge stop voltage decided after start of the charging process.

The disclosure discloses a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a printing processing program for executing steps. In a line specification step, it is determined whether or not an on-dot ratio or the number of on-dots is equal to or greater than a threshold value and at least one print lines equal to or greater than a threshold value is specified. In a labeling step, a plurality of dot groups is identified such that on-dots adjacent to each other form one dot group. In a dot group specification step, at least one first dot groups including the at least one print lines is specified. In a density reduction process step, a density at the time of print formation of the on-dots included in the first dot groups is made lower than a density at the time of print formation of the on-dots included in at least one second dot groups.

The present disclosure provides a consumable chip, a consumable cartridge, a verification method, and a method of using the consumable chip. The consumable chip includes a storage module, configured to store verification data, where the verification data at least includes first verification data and second verification data; and a communication module, configured to output the first verification data if an access instruction for verification data is received within a first time interval, and output the second verification data if the access instruction for verification data is received within a second time interval.

A printer apparatus including a driving device that is energized during printing, a driving circuit for the driving device, a circuit board on which the driving circuit is mounted, and a processor programmed to determine whether or not a power-off instruction of the printer apparatus is given, and control the driving circuit to energize the motor responsive to the power-off instruction. The driving device may be a stepper motor connected to a conveying roller that is rotated during printing, or a print head comprising heating elements that generate heat during printing.
