Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable transfer to be performed even by a small head supply current and enable specific printing density to be realized irrespective of environmental temperature by a method wherein a temperature sensor part which senses emvironmental temperature of an ink ribbon and a printing head, a heating element applying preheat to the ink ribbon, and a preheat control part which analyzes an output signal of the temperature sensor part and makes the heating element generate appropriate preheat, are provided. CONSTITUTION:A temperature sensor 2 sensing environmental temperature of an ink ribbon 1 and a heating element 3 applying preheat to the ink ribbon 5 in a path in which the ink ribbon 1 is stretched. A preheat control part 4 controls preheat temperature with the heating element 3, analyzes an output signal of the temperature sensor 2, and makes the heating element 3 generate preheat so that a printing heat 5 and its ambient ink ribbon 1 reach specific temperature irrespective of environment temperature.

Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明は、熱転写シリアルプリンタに関する。[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a thermal transfer serial printer.

〔従来の技術〕[Conventional technology]

従来、熱転写シリアルプリンタには、インクリボン及び
印字ヘッドの予熱機構が設けられていなかった。Conventionally, thermal transfer serial printers have not been provided with a preheating mechanism for the ink ribbon and print head.

〔発明が解決しようとする課題〕[Problem to be solved by the invention]

インクリボンと印字ヘッドの予熱機構かない従来の転写

という欠点がある。Conventional transfer methods, which do not have a preheating mechanism for the ink ribbon and print head, require the print head to instantaneously generate the heat necessary for transfer, which requires a large amount of current. Another disadvantage is that the current supplied to the head must be changed depending on the temperature of the print head.

It has a preheating control section that generates the preheating.

〔実施例〕〔Example〕

次に、本発明につい−て図面を参照して説明する。 Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

弁を発生させる。A temperature sensor 2 for measuring the ambient temperature of the ink fountain 1 and a heating element 3 for preheating the ink fountain 1 are provided on the front side of the print head 5 on the path along which the ink ribbon 1 is stretched. Prediction? The control unit 4 controls the preheating temperature by the heating element 3 (so it analyzes the output signal of the temperature sensor 2 and sets the print head 5 on the heating side 3 and the ink print head 1 around it to a constant temperature regardless of the ambient temperature. Generate child valves.
