Tape printing apparatus and control method of tape printing apparatus

A tape printing apparatus comprising:

• a feeding mechanism that feeds, in a first direction, a label tape in which a plurality of labels are disposed at equal intervals on a mount tape and a detected portion is provided at a position corresponding to each of the labels;
• a printing head that performs printing on the labels of the label tape fed by the feeding mechanism;
• a sensor that detects the detected portions in a period in which the label tape is fed by the feeding mechanism;
• a readout section that reads out a standard feeding pitch, which is a distance between the detected portions in a specification of the label tape, from a storage section;
• and
• a feeding control section that controls the feeding mechanism, wherein
• when printing is performed on the plurality of labels, the feeding control section measures a measurement feeding pitch, which is a distance between the detected portion of a first label that is any one of the plurality of labels and the detected portion of a second label to be printed after the first label, based on a detection result of the sensor, and corrects a feeding amount of the label tape after the detected portion of the second label is detected, based on the measured measurement feeding pitch and the standard feeding pitch.
