2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional thermal transfer color printer, as shown in, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 64-24773, it is necessary to accurately set the return position of the recording paper at the time of reverse rotation so that the color misregistration occurs when the respective color materials are superposed. It is used for the purpose of preventing. FIG. 2 is a side view of the conventional thermal transfer color printer. This conventional thermal transfer color printer includes a thermal head 4 for recording information on a recording paper 7,
The thermal head 4 serves as an underlay for pressing and recording, and also rotates itself when inhaling the paper, does not rotate at the time of printing, and rotates itself when the recording paper 7 is returned upstream after printing, A pinch roller 5 that is provided to face the platen 3 and applies pressure to the recording paper 7, and is located downstream of the platen 3 and has metal particles on its surface.
The recording sheet 7 is mainly fed by a feed roller 1 and an idle roller 2 provided so as to face the feed roller 1 and pressing the recording sheet 7. Next, the operation of the thermal transfer color printer having the above configuration will be described. When the paper is sucked, the platen 3 and the pinch roller 5 feed the recording paper 7 to a position where the leading end of the recording paper 7 meshes with the feed roller 1 and the idle roller 2. After that, the thermal head 4 moves up and the ink film 6 and the recording paper 7 are pressed against the platen 3 for printing. At this time, the recording paper 7 is fed only by the feed roller 1, and the platen 3 does not have the feeding force of the recording paper 7. After the printing of the first color is completed, the thermal head 4 moves down, and the feed roller 1 returns the recording paper 7 once to the upstream. At this time, the recording paper 7 is fed by the feed roller 1, and the platen 3 rotates, but has only a rotational force to give tension to the recording paper 7. This operation is repeated a plurality of times so that the colors are superimposed and color printing is performed.

In this conventional thermal transfer color printer, the recording paper is fed only by the feed roller 1 in both the forward and reverse directions. Therefore, during printing, the thermal head 4 presses the platen 3 with a band resistance. You must have enough power to win. Therefore, the feed roller 1 often uses a roller having metal particles on its surface. However, the particles of metal may cause an impression on the surface of the recording paper, which may lower the printing quality.Furthermore, paper particles may accumulate between the metal particles of the rollers to cause clogging, resulting in a decrease in the feeding force of the recording paper. There is a problem that color shift occurs. Further, since the feeding force of only the feed roller 1 is used, the recording paper 7 is always fed by the feed roller 1.
However, there is a problem that the printable range is narrowed. Therefore, the present invention solves such a problem, and provides a thermal transfer color printer which is provided with a color misregistration prevention unit and can prevent the slack of recording paper and the color misregistration at the time of superimposing each color. The purpose is to

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1A and 1B are side views of a thermal transfer color printer showing an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1A is a side view when a first feed roller is normally rotated, and FIG. FIG. In FIG. 1, the present invention provides a thermal head 6 for recording information on a recording sheet 18 and an underlay when the thermal head 6 presses to perform recording, and further from the upstream side to the downstream side in the conveying direction of the recording sheet. When the recording sheet is fed to the recording sheet, the platen 5 serves as the main feed, and when the recording sheet is fed from the downstream side to the upstream side, the platen 5 is simply rotated, and the platen 5 is located downstream of the platen 5 in the conveying direction of the recording sheet. When 18 is sent from the downstream to the upstream, it becomes the main feed and the platen 5
A first feed roller 1 having a higher peripheral speed, an idle roller 3 provided to face the first feed roller 1 and pressing the recording paper 18, and an upstream side of the platen with respect to the conveyance direction of the recording paper. A second feed roller 2 which is located at the position where the recording paper 18 can be fed to the recording start position, and which is provided so as to face the second feed roller 2.
The idle roller 4 that applies pressure to the recording paper 18 and the second feed roller 2 rotate slower than the platen 5 when the recording paper 18 is fed from upstream to downstream, and the first feed roller 2 when it is fed from downstream to upstream. It is composed of a speed change mechanism that rotates faster than 1 and paper guides 13, 14, 15, 16 that guide the recording paper. Further, the transmission mechanism section includes a gear 12 that transmits a rotational force to the second feed roller 2, and a gear 11 that transmits a rotational force to the second feed roller 2 and has a smaller pitch circle diameter than the gear 12. When the recording paper 18 is sent from upstream to downstream with respect to the transport direction, it rotates counterclockwise (direction A in FIG. 1), and when sent from downstream to upstream, clockwise (direction B in FIG. 1). The planet arm 7 that rotates in the direction of
A sun gear 9 for rotating the sun gear 9, a planetary gear 8 meshing with the sun gear 9 and meshing with the rotation of the planet arm 7 and a gear 11 and a sun gear 9 meshing with the sun gear 9 and linked with the rotation of the planet arm 7. And a planetary gear 10 that meshes with the gear 12. Next, the operation of the present invention having the above configuration will be described. The recording paper 18 is sent to the print position by the second feed roller 2. At this time, the thermal head 6 is lowered and is not pressed against the platen 5. Then, after the recording paper 18 reaches the recording start position, the thermal head 6 moves up and presses the recording paper 18 and the ink film 17 against the platen 5. Immediately after the start of printing, the recording paper 18 is fed by the platen 5, and the first feed roller 1 makes the peripheral speed faster than the platen 5, and the second feed roller 2 makes the peripheral speed slower than the platen 5 and makes the recording paper 18 Apply tension to the so that the recording paper does not sag. Further, the feeding force of the recording paper 18 of the two rollers is set to be weaker than that of the platen 5. When the printing of the first color is completed, the thermal head 6 moves down, the recording paper 18 and the ink film 17 are released at the recording position, and the recording paper 18 is held by the first feed roller 1 and the second feed roller 2. After that, the recording paper 18 is sent to the second feed roller 2 side. At this time, the sun gear 9 rotates in the direction opposite to that at the time of printing.

As a result, the planet arm 7 also rotates in the reverse direction, and the planet gear 8 meshes with the gear 11. By this operation, the peripheral speed of the second feed roller 2 becomes faster than that of the first feed roller 1, and tension is applied so that the recording paper 18 does not sag.
Further, the second feed roller 2 sets the pressing force and the frictional force of the roller so that the feeding force of the recording paper 18 is weaker than that of the first feed roller 1. Repeat the above operation multiple times,
Color printing is performed by overlapping colors.
