    摘要: In a state where a sheet exists, an current I is gradually increased. When an voltage V reaches a light receiving level Vx, the current I at the time is stored as I1. The voltage V immediately before the voltage V reaches the light receiving level Vx is stored as V1. In a state where no sheet exists, the current I is gradually decreased from the above I1. When the voltage V reaches a non-light receiving level Vy, the current I at the time is stored as I2. The voltage V immediately before the voltage V reaches the non-light receiving level Vy is stored as V2. Then, the current I at the time of normal operation is set within a range between I1 and I2. A reference voltage Vs is set within a range between V1 and V2.

    摘要: The present invention detects print data areas set in one-block units with white lines as boundaries, calculates division numbers for divisionally driving a line head every areas extending in its main scan direction to thereby output print data when the numbers of dots set every lines in the print data areas exceed the maximum number of printable dots set by a head drive unit, detects maximum division numbers n in the print data areas, sets paper feed velocities V1 through V4 in inverse proportion to the maximum division numbers n respectively, and executes printing in the print data areas set in the one-block units on the condition that the line head is divisionally driven with the maximum division numbers n and paper is fed at the set paper feed velocities V1 through V4. Thus, a reduction in power consumption can be satisfied. Since it is possible to increase a paper feed velocity in proportion as a print data area low in the number of dots in particular, the speeding up of printing can be achieved.
