摘要:
A method of detecting water unsupplied condition of an ice tray of a refrigerator ice maker includes steps of measuring the temperature of the ice tray after the water supply operation of water supply means to the ice tray is executed and determining that the water has not been supplied to the ice tray, where the measured temperature is below a predetermined reference value. An ice maker of a refrigerator includes an ice tray which is supplied with water, which is refrigerated by an evaporator so that ice is made, ice removing means for removing ice from the ice tray, water supply means for supplying water to the ice tray every time the ice is removed from the ice tray, a temperature sensor for sensing the temperature of the ice tray, and determination circuit means for comparing the temperature of the ice tray sensed by the temperature sensor with the predetermined reference value and determining that the water has not been supplied to the ice tray, where the temperature of the ice tray sensed by the temperature sensor is below the predetermined reference value.

摘要:
A thermal printer having a thermal head with a heat element that heats a recording medium and forms a print dot by energizing the heat element generates a first energizing pulse that energizes continuously during a first period for forming a print dot when the recording medium conveyance speed is greater than a specific threshold value; and generates a second energizing pulse that alternates during the first period between energizing for a second period that is shorter than the first period and de-energizing for a third period when the recording medium conveyance speed is less than or equal to the threshold value.

A media processing device enables quick, easy, problem-free removal of processed media while maintaining high media quality. The media processing device, such as a disc publisher 1, has a tray 70 with a stacker unit 71 for storing media M, and a tray holding unit that supports the tray 70 movably between a removal position and a storage position. Overlapping channels and lands are formed on the top of the tray 70 and on the ceiling part of the tray holding unit facing the top of the tray 70.
摘要:
A processor is provided in a main body and performs at least one of writing data on a plate-shaped medium, reading data from the medium and printing on the medium. A drawer tray is provided in the main body, includes a stacker portion which is configured to accommodate a plurality of plate-shaped media processed by the processor and is movable between an accommodated position where the stacker portion is capable of receiving the media and a drawn position where the drawer tray is pulled out from the main body to take out the media accommodated in the stacker portion.
