2. Description of the Related Art Generally, as a printing method of a serial printer, the line feed width pitch is always designed to be equal to the printing height of one line, and the line between the upper line and the lower line is continuous and there is no gap between the characters. However, due to the error of the line feed mechanism and the occurrence of gear backlash, a gap is created at the line joint. Due to the formation of the gaps between the line-to-line joints, the print density becomes lighter at the vertical line when the vertical ruled line is printed and at the central part of the character when the enlarged character is printed by a line feed, and the density of the character is likely to occur. In addition, color misregistration is likely to occur even in color printing, and the printing and printing are unsightly. For this reason, a method has been used in which line-to-line joints are overlapped to fill in the gaps so that the shades in printing and printing are inconspicuous.

As a printing method of a conventional serial printer, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-69657 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-59657 are available.
The one disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 229756 has been proposed. FIG. 4 shows a printing method according to JP-A-60-69657, and FIG. 5 shows JP-A-60-229756. In the figure, 1 is an upper dot (the 24th dot in the previous line), 2 is a lower dot (the 1st dot in the next line), 3 is a line (line feed) joint, and 4 is an overlap part.

FIG. 4 shows that when printing a vertically enlarged character which is expanded by a line feed, the gap between the line-to-line joints 3 in the sub-scanning direction is set so that the line feed pitch is slightly narrower than the print height of one time. However, it is a printing method that eliminates the problem by overlapping the printing of the upper line and the printing of the lower line. After printing the upper part of the character as shown in the print pattern of FIG. 4, when printing the lower part of the character, the line feed pitch is narrower than the printing height L of one line.
-P. In this case, the line feed pitch is the print height L of one line.
Since it is narrower than the above, some of the characters in the upper line and the characters in the lower line overlap each other and the inter-line joint portion 3 is filled.

The method shown in FIG. 5 is a method of printing by adding one dot of the same color as the print dots of the upper row and the lower row to the inter-line joining portion 3 and filling the gap. As shown in the print pattern of FIG. 5, first, it is determined whether the dots of the upper row and the lower row of the inter-line joint portion 3, for example, the print patterns of the 24th dot 1 and the 1st dot 2 are the same color or a mixed color. If the print patterns are of the same color, the line-to-line joint 3
Dots of the same color are added to, and when printing one line, the number of dots on the sub-scanning side is increased by one dot to print with a 25-dot configuration. This added 25th dot 7 is created by performing a logical product operation on the data at the line-to-line joints to determine whether they have the same color, and adding 1 dot of the same color as the previous color. Also in the case of mixed colors, the colors of the dots in the upper row and the lower row are determined by the same method, the 25th dot is created, and the inter-line joining portion 3 is filled.

The line feed pitch of a normal serial printer is equal to the print height L of one line shown in the print pattern of FIG. Therefore, for example, the target resolution is 1/360
In the case of (inch), the dot forming pitch L3 of the heating resistor array 6 formed on the thermal print head 5 is theoretically 0.0706 mm. In this case, a gap is not generated in the inter-row joint portion 3 by design,
Actually, a gap occurs in the line joining portion 3 due to an error in the line feed mechanism. In order to eliminate printing problems, such as vertical ruled lines that do not connect between the upper and lower lines due to this gap, or there is a gap between the upper and lower lines when printing graphics, The gaps are filled by overlapping the parts so that the shades during printing are inconspicuous. Since the gaps appear white during actual printing of characters, graphics, etc., the contrast of light and shade is likely to be clear, and the print quality is greatly affected. For this reason, the contrast of light and shade is less conspicuous when a part of the printing of characters and graphics in the gaps overlaps, and the printing quality of the line-to-line joint is improved.

In this embodiment, the width of the overlap portion 4 formed in the inter-line joint portion 3 is formed to be about the same width as the pattern width of one dot on the sub-scanning side (L2 in FIG. 1). In order to make only the width of one dot overlap with the next line at the time of line feed, the formation pitch of all the dots of the heating resistor array 6 is formed to be slightly larger than the formation pitch of the target resolution, for example, a pitch of about 0.072 mm. When the dot formation pitch is 48 dots in the vertical direction,
As shown in FIG. 5, the overlap height 4 of L1 is actually formed with respect to the print height L of one line, which is actually about 0.067 mm.

The accuracy of forming the overlapping portion 4 is determined by the pattern accuracy of the photomask used when the thin film pattern is formed by the photolithographic etching method in the thermal printhead manufacturing process in the case of the serial thermal transfer printer. In general, the pattern accuracy of the photomask is ± 1 μm for a single pattern, the repeat (repeat) pattern accuracy is within ± 5 μm, and the accuracy of the pattern for forming the heating resistor array 6 is also within ± 5 μm. Therefore, it can be formed with higher accuracy than the error of the line feed mechanism of the printer body. Further, since a large number of thermal print heads are manufactured simultaneously from a single substrate of alumina or the like by the photolithographic etching method, variations in dot formation pitch between thermal print heads can also be suppressed.

(Embodiment 2) FIG. 3 shows a heating resistor array 6 formed in a thermal print head 5 in a printing method of a serial printer in which an overlap portion 4 is formed in a line joining portion 3 according to the present invention. The dot formation pitch L4 of only the dots on both ends is formed larger than the formation pitch of the other dots. The overlap portion 4 forming position for filling the gap at the time of line feed is positioned at the center of the line, and the width of the overlap portion 4 is made small so that it is difficult to determine the print density at this overlap portion and the print quality is improved. The purpose is to improve. In the figure, the reference numerals of the components 1 to 6 are the same as those in FIG. Similar to the first embodiment, a method of forming the overlap portion 4 formed in the inter-line joining portion 3 when the dot configuration of the print pattern of one character is configured by a matrix of (vertical) 48 dots × (horizontal) 36 dots It will be described below. In this embodiment as well, the printing method by the serial type thermal transfer printer will be described.

The second dot to the 47th dot are formed at the same pitch as the desired resolution pitch with the central portion of the heating resistor array 6 formed on the thermal print head 5 as the reference point of the dot formation pitch. Next, the formation pitch of the first dots located at the end of the heating resistor array 6 is changed from the second dot to the fourth dot.
Slightly larger than the formation pitch of 7 dots, for example 0.073 m when the target resolution is 1/360 (inch)
The heating resistors are formed at a pitch of about m. When the above-mentioned dot formation pitch is used, the width of the overlap portion 4 formed in the inter-row joint portion 3 is about 0.01 to 0.02 mm. Similarly, the 48th dot located at the other end is also the first dot.
The dots are formed at the same pitch, and only the dots at both ends are made large in shape. The thermal print head 5 aims at the product resistance value depending on the shape of the heating resistor array 6 and the film thickness of the heating resistor layer. However, if the width of the overlapping portion 4 is within the above range, the heating resistor array 6 is formed. This is a level that does not affect the abnormal product resistance of the thermal print head or the variation defect due to the spread of the shape.
