A ticket checking/issuing apparatus for checking and issuing a ticket on which data is recorded, includes a ticket holding unit for holding the ticket, and a head unit which is moved along the holding unit. The head unit has a magnetic head which is brought into sliding contact with the ticket held by the holding unit so as to record and/or reproduce data on and/or from the ticket. A friction member is arranged on a surface of the holding unit opposing the head unit. The friction member has a friction coefficient between itself and the ticket larger than that between the magnetic head of the head unit and the ticket. The friction member is brought into sliding contact with the magnetic head when the head unit is moved while the holding unit does not hold a ticket, and is brought into contact with the ticket held by the holding unit when the holding unit holds the ticket. An apparatus for recording magnetic information to a recording area of a medium, which includes a magnetic head, moved along the recording area of the medium, for recording the magnetic information to the recording area of the medium, and a unit for holding the medium. The unit for holding the medium has a friction coefficient between itself and the medium larger than that between the magnetic head and the medium.

Method and apparatus for the thermal transfer printing upon a record medium utilizing a print ribbon so as to form a protective transparent layer over a printed area upon a record medium. The thermal transfer print film includes plural colored ink regions separated by transparent ink regions. The method and apparatus of the present invention thus provide for the initial printing via thermal transfer of the colored ink regions onto an area of the record medium. Subsequent alignment of a region of the transparent ink with the printed area on the record medium and selective operation of thermal print heads thus thermally transfers portions of the thermal transparent ink to the previously colored ink printed area to provide a transparent ink layer over the printed information upon the record medium thereby protecting the same. The transparent ink layer thus serves to protect the colored ink printed information from abrasive rubbing and the like during processing and/or handling thereby preventing degradation of the print quality.

A color printing apparatus includes a scanner for scanning a color document and for converting the reflecting light from the color document into color image signals of black, red, green and blue, and a thermal head unit driven by signals corresponding to complementary colors of the colors of the color signals from the scanner. The thermal head unit, making an ink ribbon to contact the paper intimately, transfers the inks of the ink layers of black, magenta, yellow and cyan on the ink ribbon according to the complementary color signals.

According to the present invention, a transfer medium is set to be fed. Transfer materials are set to be selectively fed in such a manner that each transfer material has a monochromatic color agent and an identification code assigned thereto, or a plurality of color agents and identification codes assigned thereto. A first feeding means feeds the transfer medium, while a second feeding means feeds the transfer material. A transfer portion transfers a color agent of the transfer material fed by the second feeding means to a transfer medium fed by the first feeding means in accordance with printing data. A detecting means detects the identification code of the transfer material. A controlling means discriminates the type of transfer material in accordance with the identification code detected by the detecting means. The controlling means changes the printing mode in accordance with this discrimination result. Therefore, the feeding operations of the first and second feeding means and the transfer operation of the transfer portion are controlled in accordance with the selected printing mode.

A thermal transfer type printing apparatus includes a monochromatic printing section and multi-color printing section. The monochromatic printing section includes a thermal head unit for thermally transferring an ink layer of a black ink ribbon onto a paper sheet according to a black image signal. The multi-color printing section includes a thermal head unit for successively transferring cyan, magenta and yellow layers of a multi-color ink ribbon in an overlap state onto the paper sheet according to image signals for the respective colors.

A color printing apparatus is provided with a document moving mechanism for reciprocatably moving a color document four times, and a scanner for applying successively white, red, green, and blue lights to the color document during each of the forward movements to produce image signals representative of complementary colors of the color lights. A drum with a paper wound therearound rotates forwardly and reversely in synchronism with the reciprocal movement. At the time of the forward movement of the document and the forward rotation of the drum, the thermal head presses a color ink ribbon against the paper to thermally transfer the ink of the color ink ribbon to the paper. At the time of the reverse rotation of the drum, the thermal head is separated from the drum by means of a solenoid.
摘要:
A shutter and an intake roller are mounted to a gate to form an integral structure. The shutter and the intake roller are interlockingly operated by the swinging of the gate. During the processing of a used ticket, the shutter prevents another used ticket from being inserted into the machine through the inlet port. Also, the used ticket is guided from the ticket transporting path to the recovery transporting path by the swing of the gate.
摘要:
A printing head comprises a substrate, a plurality of printing elements disposed on the substrate and adapted to print a picture element of an image, and a driving device for selectively driving the printing elements. Each of the printing elements includes a plurality of ring-shaped printing segments disposed on the substrate concentrically to each other. The printed area in the picture element is changed according to the printing segments selectively driven by the driving device and thus the gradation of the printed image is expressed by changing the printed area in a picture element.

An apparatus for issuing plane tickets by communicating with a host apparatus using data from a keyboard or a bar code reader includes a hopper for storing plane tickets having a magnetic stripe extending along the longer sides thereof. A convey mechanism picks up the plane tickets one by one from the hopper and conveys the ticket on a convey path while aligning the shorter sides of the card with the convey direction.
