A label printer comprises an input section for inputting printing data, a frame memory for storing image data derived from the printing data, a printing section for printing an image corresponding to the image data on label paper, and a control circuit for creating the image data based on the printing data, storing the image data into the frame memory, and transferring the image data stored in the frame memory to the printing section. In the label printer, the frame memory stores items of image data derived from different printing data input by the input section, and the control circuit checks whether or not image data corresponding to the input printing data is stored in the frame memory, and transfer the image data stored in the frame memory to the printing section when it is detected that the image data is stored in the frame memory.
