A printed chip-on-board substrate is for mounting a high-power semiconductor chip. As a construction for efficiently releasing or dissipating heat to be generated in the semiconductor chip, the printed substrate has a printed interconnected substrate and a metal plate bonded on a back side of the substrate. The printed interconnected substrate is constructed by forming an interconnected layer on a surface of the substrate. At a mount area where the semiconductor chip is to be mounted, an opening is formed reaching the metal plate. The metal plate covers the opening on the side of the back side and is formed with a thickness capable of providing rigidity sufficient to support thereon at least the semiconductor chip to be mounted.

According to a method of adjusting a head gap, a wire dot head is set to a predetermined position of a reference head gap; a printing pattern for detecting printing time is printed by a plurality of pins; reference printing times of respective pins are detected. Next, a test printing is performed with test printing dots previously selected from printing data, and printing time of the test printing is detected. Then, the thickness of the printing media is calculated based on the reference printing time and the printing time of the test printing. At that time, a rule of thumb in which the difference of the printing time corresponds to the difference of the head gap, is used. Then, a shift amount of the wire dot head is calculated for setting the head gap to an optimum value according to the thickness of the printing media, and gap shifting mechanism shifts the wire dot head by the shift amount. This leads to highly accurate detection of the head gap and improves printing quality thereof.

Printing control includes determining printing dot density of print data to be supplied to a printing head, averaging the printing dot density during a predetermined period of time based on the printing dot density determined, selecting a printing speed in response to the average value of printing dot density, and controlling printing to print at the selected printing speed.

A wire dot printer has a thermistor that detects the temperature of a print head and a counter that starts counting when the detection temperature exceeds an alarm temperature. The printer can be controlled by switching over between normal-printing and reduced-character-printing in which a reduced number of print wires is used. When the detection temperature exceeds the alarm temperature, the printer will first stop and then control the print head in such a way as to reduce the temperature. Once the temperature drops back down below the alarm temperature, the printer will perform reduced-character-printing for a definite period of time based on the length of time from when the temperature exceeded the alarm temperature to when the temperature dropped back down below the alarm temperature. By increasing the length of time in which reduced-character-printing is carried out, the amount of heat given off by the print head decreases. Furthermore, by basing the time over which reduced-character-printing is performed on the length of time that the alarm temperature was exceeded. It is possible to set the reduced-character-printing time to an appropriate length such that the print head does not overheat and throughout is not excessively impaired.

In a printer in which a print head and a print medium are moved relative to each other in a spacing direction and in a line-feed direction, the position of the print head in the spacing direction is detected, and the stoppage of the print head during a spacing operation is detected, and the stop position in the spacing direction is stored. When the print head stops, reverse line-feed is performed by a first amount. The spacing operation is then performed in the same direction as before the carriage stopped. A forward line-feed is then performed by the first amount, and then the spacing operation is performed in the opposite direction. If the print head stops again at the same stop positon, an error indication is made. If the print head does not so stop, the spacing operation is continued.

In a dot-matrix printer including a wire-dot print head having print wires which print dots by impact on a printing medium, and a sensor for sensing the position of the print wires and generating signals indicating the position of the print wires, a parameter is set to determine a printing force with which each of the print wires impacts the printing medium. A control and driving circuit drives the print wire responsive to the signals from the sensors and the set parameter. The combination of the feature of setting a parameter for controlling the printing force and the feature of detecting the position of the print wire enables the control over printing force with a high reproducibility. So printing with an optimum printing force is ensured.

A wire-dot impact printer includes a wire-dot print head having a plurality of print wires disposed therein. Each of the plurality of print wires has a distal end, and each is displaced in response to a drive signal so as to strike a printing medium with the distal end. A displacement detecting device is provided for detecting a displacement resulting from the drive signal of each of the plurality of print wires and for outputting a corresponding displacement detection signal. A control unit, which controls the overall printing operation of the impact printer, varies the print repetitive cycle of each of the plurality of print wires in accordance with the displacement detection signal outputted by the displacement detecting unit.
