Abstract
According to one embodiment, a printer includes a motor and a roller turned by the motor to discharge a backing sheet-attached label from a roll wound with the backing sheet-attached label, or a liner-less label from a roll wound with the liner-less label with an adhesive surface on one side of the liner-less label. The printer further includes a print unit to perform printing on the backing sheet-attached label or the liner-less label discharged from the roll, a switching unit to switch the printer to a standard mode in which the print unit performs printing on the backing sheet-attached label or a liner-less mode in which the print unit performs printing on the liner-less label, and a control unit to control the operation of the motor in response to the switching of the printer to the standard mode or the liner-less mode.
