ABSTRACT:
A label printer includes a thermal head, a keyboard unit for inputting label data including issuing number data determining the number of labels to be issued, a RAM for storing label data input by the keyboard unit, and a printing control circuit. The RAM at least first and second label data, and the printing control circuit performs a first label issuing operation in which the thermal head is driven to continuously print a label or labels according to the first label data read out from the RAM, interrupts the operation of the thermal head in response to an interrupt command input from the keyboard unit during the first label issuing operation and then changes the label issuing number data of the first label data stored in the RAM to indicate the number of remaining labels to be issued. The printing control circuit then performs a second label issuing operation in which the thermal head is driven to continuously print a label or labels according to the second label data, and then performs the first label issuing operation again after the second label issuing operation is completed.
