2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a thermal printer of this kind, various printing media are passed between a platen roller (hereinafter simply referred to as a platen) and a thermal head pressed by a predetermined pressure on the platen. 2. Description of the Related Art There has been known a method of printing product information such as a price on a printing medium using a barcode.

However, when different types of print-receiving media, such as labels and tags, are printed by such a thermal printer, the thickness, hardness, material, etc. of the two print-receiving media are different. Thus, an optimum printing state corresponding to each printing medium could not be obtained.

That is, when the platen is stationary,
Only the force that presses the platen is applied to the resistor of the thermal head, but when the platen rotates, the force along the direction of rotation of the platen is applied to the resistor of the thermal head,
It is presumed that this force affects the quality of the printing pressure. In this case, the platen is elastically deformed by being urged by the pressing force of the thermal head. However, if the printing medium interposed between the platen and the thermal head is a tag, the tag has a relatively high hardness because the tag has a relatively high hardness. When the print medium is a label, the elastic deformation of the platen becomes large because the label has relatively low hardness.
