Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit the performance of high-speed, uniform-dense recording by controlling a power to be applied to each heating element constituting a thermal head according to the past and next printing information for the heating element and the printing information for the other heating element. CONSTITUTION:In a heating element H1, printing information for thermally driving the element H1 is controlled according to signals from RE11 on the one hand and applied, on the other hand, to a register RE01 first, which move to left- handed registers RE11, RE21, ... every recording period. Thus, printing information being recording at present is stored in RE11, the next information is in RE01, and the last before-last, and before before-last printing information is each stored in RE21, RE31 and RE41. Signals from RE01-RE41 and RE12 and the present printing information of the heating element H2 adjacent to the direction at a right angle to the moving direction of the head are each put in a control circuit CC1 to control the pulse width of pulse width signal output from a drive circuit PW1.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method of controlling a heat generating head in a thermal recording device such as a thermal printer or a thermal transfer link.

The recording density in thermal recording is generally determined by the thermal energy applied from the heat-generating element to the color forming agent or transfer agent.If this is thermally driven in a high heat storage state, the recording will be dark, and in a low heat storage state, the recording density will be dark. When thermally driven, the recording becomes thinner. Therefore, in the past, the heat storage effect was eliminated by incorporating an OR time constant circuit that matched the thermal time constant of the heat generating element into the drive circuit, or the next heat generation was performed by waiting for the heat generating element to drop to a predetermined temperature. A method of driving was used. However, the former method requires a complicated circuit configuration, and the latter method has the disadvantage that high-speed recording cannot be performed.
