According to one embodiment, a dual purpose printer has a housing, a printing medium supporting section, a first printing section, and a second printing section. The housing has a discharge port and an entrance port. The printing medium supporting section is arranged inside the housing, and rotatably supports a rolled printing medium. The first printing section is configured to print on a top surface of a first continuous sheet printing medium drawn from the rolled printing medium supported on the printing medium supporting section, and to print on a second printing medium carried in through the entrance port. The second printing section is arranged inside the housing, and is configured to print on the bottom surface of the first continuous sheet printing medium.

An erasing apparatus includes a sheet feeding unit from which a sheet is fed into the erasing apparatus, an erasing unit configured to perform an erasing processing on both surfaces of the sheet, a scanning unit configured to scan and generate image data of a bottom surface and a top surface of the sheet, a first storing unit, a second storing unit, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine, based on the image data, whether the bottom surface of the sheet is reusable and whether the top surface of the sheet is reusable. Further, the controller is configured to cause, if both the bottom and top surfaces have been subject to the erasing processing and are determined to be reusable, the sheet to be conveyed to one of the first and second storing units based on a both-sides-erased criteria.

An ink ribbon cartridge may include a supply roll; a winding roll; and a power transmission mechanism to transmit power from a drive source to the supply roll and the winding roll. A direction in which an ink ribbon is wound by the winding roll is a ribbon winding direction and a direction in which the ink ribbon is wound by the supply roll is a ribbon rewinding direction. The power transmission mechanism may include a winding side one-way clutch to transmit a driving force in the ribbon winding direction to the winding roll and cut off transmission of the driving force in the ribbon rewinding direction to the winding roll; and a supply side one-way clutch to transmit the driving force in the ribbon rewinding direction to the supply roll and cuts off transmission of the driving force in the ribbon winding direction to the supply roll.

A decolorizing apparatus of an exemplary embodiment includes a feeding section, a decolorizing section, and a control section. The feeding section can supply a magnetic medium having a ferromagnet in at least a part thereof. The decolorizing section decolorizes a decolorable image formed on the magnetic medium by heating the magnetic medium. The control section controls the decolorizing section to be set to a temperature which is equal to or higher than a temperature at which the image can be decolorized and is lower than a Curie temperature of the ferromagnet of the magnetic medium during decolorizing of the magnetic medium.

A stamp face forming apparatus includes a stamp face forming part including a plurality of heating elements arranged in a direction along a surface holding a porous stamp face material that can be made non-porous by heating, and a drive circuit for controlling heat generating states of the plurality of heating elements to form a stamp face on the stamp face material; and a controller for controlling the drive circuit of the stamp face forming part by adjusting a signal to be applied to the drive circuit such that an amount of heat per dot for a dot to be heated directly adjacent to a dot to be non-heated is less than an amount of heat per dot for a dot to be heated not directly adjacent to the dot to be non-heated in image data for forming the stamp face.
摘要:
A multicolor thermal recording material that allows multicolor printing in at least four colors and a method for developing color of the multicolor thermal recording material. The multicolor thermal recording material comprises (1) a support, (2) a first thermal color-developing layer containing a first dye precursor and a color-developing compound reactive with the first dye precursor under heating to develop the color of the first dye precursor, (3) an intermediate layer, (4) a second thermal color- developing layer containing composite fine particles containing a second dye precursor and a polymeric compound, and a color-developing compound reactive with the second dye precursor under heating, and (5) a third thermal color-developing layer containing composite fine particles containing a third dye precursor and a polymeric compound, and a color-developing compound reactive with the third dye precursor under heating; wherein the first, second, and third dye precursors are capable of developing mutually different colors.

A method of forming a digital print on a surface (2) by applying powder of dry ink (15) including colorants (7) on the surface, bonding a part of the dry ink (15) powder to the surface (2) by a digital heating print head (80) such that the digital print is formed by the bonded dry ink colorants (7) and removing non-bonded dry ink (15) from the surface (2).
摘要:
An image erasing method, according to an embodiment, includes the steps of supplying a sheet from a sheet supply section and conveying the sheet from the sheet supply section on a first conveying path. The method further includes controlling, based on a selected mode, the first conveying path, a reader, a second conveying path, an erasing unit, and a switching section. When the selected mode is an erasing mode, the sheet is conveyed on the first conveying path without being read by the reader, conveyed on the second conveying path where the image is erased by the erasing unit, and then conveyed to a discharge tray. When the selected mode is a reading mode, the sheet is conveyed on the first conveying path where the surface of the sheet is read by the reader, and then conveyed to the discharge tray without being conveyed on the second conveying path.
