a first roller adjacent to the first print head across the conveyance path, the label sheet passing between the first print head and the first roller when conveyed along the conveyance path;
a second print head upstream of the first print head along the conveyance path and configured to perform printing on a second surface of the label sheet when the label sheet is conveyed along the conveyance path in the first direction, wherein the second surface is opposite to the first surface and the adhesive is partially applied to the second surface;
a second roller adjacent to the second print head across the conveyance path, the label sheet passing between the second print head and the second roller when conveyed along the conveyance path;
a cutting unit downstream of the first print head along the conveyance path and configured to cut off a first portion of the label sheet; and
a processor configured to, after the first portion is cut off, cause the label sheet to be conveyed in a second direction opposite to the first direction such that an end of the label sheet from which the first portion was cut off reaches the first print head and is held between the first print head and the first roller.
