摘要:
A personal computer (20A) has a print image developing means (641A) and a data compression means (642A) including a fixed rate compression. A color printer (21A) has a data extension means (921A), a color correction means (922A), a gamma correction means (924A), a first halftoning means (925A), an image area segmentation means (926A), and a second halftoning means (927A). A transmission time of a print image can be shortened necessarily less than a constant time, and further since an enormous memory for an extension is unnecessary, a low cost printer can be provided.

摘要:
A main control unit (100) for controlling a dot printing element (1-17) in a laser beam printer has a first control means for controlling the dot printing element (1-17) so as to print a predetermined dot size in accordance with an existence of a dot signal in an image information signal. The main control unit (100) has a second control means and a control selection means (160). The second control means controls the dot printing element so as to vary a size of the dot of a dither matrix. The control selection means (160) operates selectively the first control means and the second control means. A gradation data is transmitted to the printer without conversion of a dither matrix data. The printer can print an image in response to in either cases of a character pattern dot data signal and a gradation data signal. The printer has a gradation signal on an interference, a gradation converting means (150) and a laser modulating means. The printer can connect in either cases of an existence state and a non-existence state of the gradation signal.
摘要:
A thermal printer having a reciprocating carriage (8), a thermal print head (14) provided on the carriage, a controller (1) for controlling the movement of the carriage and the printing operation of the print head, a ribbon cassette (10) mounted on the carriage, an inked ribbon (21) coiled within the ribbon cassette, a carriage drive motor (3) and drive belt (5) for reciprocating the carriage, and an inked ribbon take-up mechanism for taking up the inked ribbon in one direction by the reciprocative movement of the carriage, wherein the thermal print head is provided with a plurality of thermal element arrays (24, 25) having different pitches of thermal elements or different sizes of thermal elements.
摘要:
A thermal head (1) is pressed against a platen (62;12) consisting of rubber through a recording paper (13) or a heat sensitive paper. The thermal head (1) is provided a head base (2), a glaze layer portion (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 3a', 3d') mounted on the head base (2), and a heating resistor portion (4a, 4b, 4a', 4b') provided on the glaze layer portion (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 3a', 3d'). An unit area surface pressure (P) applied from the glaze layer portion (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 3a', 3d',) of the thermal head (1) to the recording paper (13) or the heat sensitive paper is set to not less than 0.3 kg/mm 2. A hardness (Hs) of the rubber of the platen (62;12) is adapted of about Hs 40°-Hs 100°. The high areas (13a) of the surface of the recording paper (13) or the heat sensitive paper are flattened to increase the smoothness of the surface of the recording paper (13) or the heat sensitive paper. A high quality printed product of the thermal transfer printer or the thermal printer can be obtained even when the relatively rough recording paper (13) or the heat sensitive paper is used as the object paper.
