In the existing thermal printing head, a plurality of heating resistor units are connected in parallel to form a heating resistor body and share a printing power supply (VH) signal, and the printing power supply (VH) signal, a logic power supply (VDD) signal and various logic control signals are driven by a printer, received and processed by a driving IC, and then the heating resistor body on a ceramic substrate is controlled to heat, so that printing is completed. In this case, the base temperature used as a reference for heating control is measured by a thermistor provided on the ceramic substrate or PCB of the printhead, and rough control of the printing energy is performed based on the temperature value obtained from the measured value of the thermistor.
In order to overcome the printing defect caused by uneven heating, the following means are adopted in the prior art to solve the problem: document CN110466260A proposes a heating control method and apparatus, a printer, and a storage medium in a printing process, which describe: the heating control sequence carries out multiple heating on one dot row by dividing the paper feeding time for printing one dot row into N heating time periods and N-1 rest time periods arranged between two adjacent heating time periods, so that the problems that black lines are not full and rendering is not uniform when data is printed in a non-heating time period, obvious thin white lines appear on the printed thermal paper, and the printing effect is improved.
Document JP2003127453A proposes a warm-up control method for a printer, which describes: which can perform printing without changing the printing quality. In the thermal transfer printer with warm-up control according to the present invention, when the print data is transferred to the thermal transfer printer, the temperature of the thermal head is detected by the temperature detecting means (thermistor), and the detected temperature is converted into a digital value. Then, the pulse width corresponding to the digital value is read from the temperature conversion table corresponding to the temperature of the converted digital value. The preheating is performed by heating the heating resistor for a time corresponding to the pulse width.
