ABSTRACT:
Ink on an ink tape is melted and transferred onto a print tape by a thermal print head, while an electric motor is driven to feed the print tape. When the number of rotations of the motor reaches a predetermined value, a controller judges that the lead print position of the tape has reached a cutter and stops rotating the motor. At this time, operating the cutter can cut away a blank area preceding the lead print position. Continuing the printing without operating the cutter can eliminate blank areas between the multiple printed portions.
