Pressure-sensitive adhesive force expressing unit, pressure-sensitive adhesive label issuing device, printer, pressure-sensitive adhesive force expressing method, and pressure-sensitive adhesive force expressing program

A pressure-sensitive adhesive force expressing method for a computer for controlling a pressure-sensitive adhesive force expressing unit,

• the pressure-sensitive adhesive force expressing unit including:
• a conveyance unit for conveying a pressure-sensitive adhesive label in a predetermined direction, the pressure-sensitive adhesive label including a printable layer and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the printable layer being provided on one surface of a base, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer being provided on another surface of the base and covered by a non-pressure-sensitive-adhesive function layer;
• and
• a thermal head including a plurality of heat generating elements arranged along a direction substantially orthogonal to the predetermined direction, the thermal head being configured to heat the pressure-sensitive adhesive label from the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer side to form a bore in the non-pressure-sensitive-adhesive function layer and expose the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer,
• the pressure-sensitive adhesive force expressing method including:
• setting, by the computer, an intermittent energization period of intermittently energizing the plurality of heat generating elements in a heat generating period of one cycle of forming bores for one row in the non-pressure-sensitive-adhesive function layer;
• and
• intermittently energizing, by the computer, the plurality of heat generating elements in the set intermittent energization period.
