    摘要: A medium issuing device includes a medium conveyance part, a print head, a sensor disposed on an upstream side of a conveyance passage with respect to the print head, a head drive part which moves the print head between a standby position and a printing position, a ribbon feeding part, and a control part. The control part controls so that, when detected that the sensor is turned on by a medium, the medium is conveyed at a first speed by the medium conveyance part, and the print head is started to move to the printing position by the head drive part and, in a case that a high speed mode is set, after the print head is contacted with the medium, the medium conveyance part and the ribbon feeding part are synchronously driven so that printing to the medium is performed at the second speed higher than the first speed.

    摘要: A printing device for printing on a label sheet includes a first print head to perform printing on a first side of a label sheet being conveyed along a conveyance path. The label sheet is interposed between the first print head and a first roller. A second print head is upstream of the first print head and performs printing on a second side of the label sheet. A second roller is adjacent the second print head across the conveyance path. A cutter is downstream of the first print head to cut off a first portion of the label sheet. A processor is configured to cause the label sheet to be conveyed in a second direction after the first portion is cut off from the sheet so that the cut end of the sheet reaches the first print head.
