摘要:
A transfer type thermal printer includes a heat sensitive ink ribbon which is fed along an ink ribbon feeding path, a part of which is defined as a recording section, a thermal printhead and a platen roller, both located at the recording section in pressure contact with the ink ribbon sandwiched therebetween. A paper transporting path is defined in the printer for transporting a sheet of recording paper through the recording section where the recording paper is passed between the printhead and the platen roller in surface contact with the ink ribbon. A main feature of the present printer includes a housing which is generally divided into two: upper housing half and lower housing half, and the upper housing half is pivotted to the lower housing half at one end so that the upper housing half may be pivotted open or closed with respect to the lower housing half with the printhead being mounted in the upper housing half and the platen roller being disposed in the lower housing half.
摘要:
An image recording apparatus in which the thermal recording material has a transparent support which is provided with a plurality of transparent thermal color-developing layers. The transparent thermal color-developing layers are successively heated and developed in their respective colors while the thermal recording material is transported, to recording an image onto the thermal record material. The image recording apparatus contains a setting unit for judging the position at which the image is to be recorded, to set heating timing. Accordingly, it is possible to cause the color-developed positions of the respective transparent color-developing layers on the thermal recording material to be in agreement with each other.
摘要:
An image recording method for recording an image on a thermal recording material by developing colors by heating one or more times the thermal recording material having thermal color developing transparent layers in the form of triple layers which respectively develop different hues, the thermal color developing transparent layers in the form of triple layers being formed on one side of a transparent carrier thereof. The image recording method comprising the following steps of: selecting pixels to develop their colors in at least the outermost layer in accordance with the hue to be recorded; causing the outermost layer and an inner layer positioned next to the outermost layer to develop their colors for each of the pixels; subjecting the outermost layer to a fixing process; selecting pixels to develop their colors in at least an intermediate layer which has not developed its color; causing the intermediate layer and the inner layer than the intermediate layer to simultaneously develop their colors; and successively subjecting the intermediate layer to a fixing processes to the innermost layer. Therefore, a color developing layer in the form of a multiplicity of layers formed on either side of the transparent carrier can be simultaneously subjected to the heat treatment and the color deviation can thereby be prevented. Therefore, the working efficiency can be improved and energy required to complete the recording operation can be reduced.

There is disclosed an apparatus for restoring an ink jet recording head which can securely recover the ink jet recording head from the ink non-ejection condition caused by foreign particles or bubbles adhering inside the ink passage of an ejecting nozzle and which can prevent unnecessary bubbles from generating in the ink jet recording head. In the restoring operation, in which foreign particles are discharged together with ink from the ejecting nozzle by pressurizing the ink in an ink tank, an inner pressure of an ink supply passage is adjusted to reach a set pressure value.

A color information reading apparatus wherein the apparatus basically comprises an original information reading unit provided with a photoelectric converter element, for scanning an original once with each of first and second light of different colors so as to convert light reflected from the original into electric signals, thereby outputting the converted respective signals in line sequence, an amplifier for amplifying each output from the photoelectric converter element, a bi-level digitizing circuit for representing the output of the amplifier in binary form, a plurality of line memories for storing therein data output from the bi-level digitizing circuit, a threshold level shifting device for changing the threshold level to another for each pixel, a color discriminating circuit for discriminating among colors base on data representing in binary form the signal obtained by scanning the original with the first light and data representing in binary form the signal obtained by scanning the original with the second light, and a color processing circuit for converting the output from the color discriminating circuit into either a white signal or a black signal so as to output the converted signal therefrom when the output of the color discriminating circuit differs from the output of the color discriminating circuit prior to one pixel.
摘要:
An information reading and recording apparatus typically for use as a copying machine, a printer, or the like includes a reading unit for photoelectrically reading information from a document while the document is being horizontally fed in a first direction, and a recording unit for recording the information read by the reading unit on a recording medium while the recording medium is being fed in a second direction. The reading unit and the recording unit are disposed in upper and lower positions, respectively, and positioned relatively to each other such that the first and second directions extend across each other. The information reading and recording apparatus has a lower cover and an upper cover openably and closably supported on the lower cover, the recording unit being housed in the lower cover and the reading unit being housed in the upper cover.
摘要:
A thermosensitive recording system for use in the reception apparatus of a facsimile apparatus or the like, which is capable of reducing the generation of heat in a heat-emitting recording head when the temperature of the recording head is elevated beyond a predetermined temperature, by skipping a predetermined number of scanning lines during the recording operation, whereby excessive temperature elevation is prevented and continuous thermosensitive recording operation is made possible.

To provide a pattern forming apparatus whose operation is restrained in minimum and whose space saving and energy saving can be attained. The printer 10 is provided with an ink jet head 11 for ejecting ink to a medium 20 to perform pattern formation, a UV lamp 15 for irradiating ultraviolet light for modifying surface to the medium 20, and an integral support part 13 which supports both of the ink jet head 11 and the UV lamp 15.
摘要:
A control method of an ink jet printer having an ink jet head which ejects an ink droplet to record a dot on a recording sheet. When plural colors of ink are overlapped to record a dot, each color ink ejection time length is set shorter as compared with when a single-color dot is recorded. Ink amount in the dot in which the plural colors are overlapped is reduced, and ink blur on the recording sheet is prevented from occurring, so that recorded image quality can be enhanced. Preferably, ejection time width of one dot of ink ejected from the ink jet head is divided into plural pitches, each pitch is associated with an address of a timing data memory, and timing data is prepared by storing data indicating plural ejection time lengths of the ink jet head in the address corresponding to an ejection timing. Selection information for selecting any one of the ejection time lengths is included in record data for each dot, the ejection timing for each dot is determined from the timing data based on the ejection time length selected by the selection information of the record data, and each dot ink ejection time length is controlled.
摘要:
A cutter device for use in a printer in which a broad continuous printing sheet is printed and thereafter the printed portion of the sheet is cut along a width direction to be dropped downward to a tray. The cutter devise includes a cutter which reciprocating to cut the printed sheet in the width direction; and holding member for holding the sheet to prevent the sheet from dropping on a cutting start side of the cutter. The sheet is released from the holding member substantially in synchronism with the completion of the cutting by the cutter. Preferably, the sheet is fed a reverse in rewinding direction before the cutter finishes cutting to return to its original position, so that the cut end of a non-printed sheet is prevented from interfering with the returning cutter. The compactness of the cutter device is achieved and the sheet charging operations are facilitated.
