摘要:
A thermal printer free of the unevenness of an image is devised so that dust is prevented from adhering to an ink ribbon. In the thermal printer for generating a color image on a recording material by a thermal head and others using an ink ribbon, the ink ribbon is automatically rewound by a length within one image plane and kept on standby after printing is finished and at the time of next printing, the ink ribbon is automatically let out by the length formerly rewound and gets ready for printing.

A dust eliminator for removing dust prior to a thermal transfer type recording, in a device such as a thermal or laser printer, using a plurality of rollers which possess varying adhesive strengths. A toner sheet is supplied to a printing surface of a thermal head from a supply roll. The toner sheet comes in contact with an adhering surface of a roller with weak adhesive strength, prior to the thermal head, removing dust from the surface of the toner sheet. The toner sheet then comes into contact with an adhering surface of a roller with strong adhesive strength, removing any remaining dust which did not adhere to the weak adhesive roller. The toner sheet then passes though a clearance between the thermal head and a platen roll and is wound by a toner by a winding roll.

An image transfer apparatus is arranged in a manner that an image bearing sheet on which an image is formed and a sheet on which an image is to be transferred are laminated, and the two sheets thus laminated are passed between a pair of heat rollers from an insertion table thereby to transfer the image formed on the image bearing sheet on the sheet on which the image is to be transferred. The image bearing sheet is placed on the insertion table, then the sheet on which an image is to be transferred is laminated on the image bearing sheet, and the two sheets thus laminated are inserted between the pair of heat rollers.

A writable and erasable flexible medium 2 as display is stored in a cylindrical magazine type case 3 as a scroll so that the flexible medium can be rewound. Write and read can be executed by means of a CPU, write head, scanner, etc., contained in the case 3, and additional write, erasion, etc., with a write pen 5 can also be performed as desired.
摘要:
An image correction method structured such that supplied image data is converted into image data which must be output when supplied image data is output by a printing apparatus including a line-type head, the image correction method including steps of performing: CMS-conversion (21) of supplied image data in three dimensional or higher order; increase (30) of a gradation accuracy of image data after the CMS conversion has been performed; a correction process (31) of image data having the increased gradation accuracy; and a multivalued dither process (32).
摘要:
A discharged sheet accommodating tray in which sheets discharged from a discharging section along surfaces of the sheets are successively stacked, includes: a placement surface on which the sheets discharged from the discharging section are placed; and a sheet ride-on portion provided at the placement surface and which sheets being discharged ride on. The sheet ride-on portion can be a convex portion or an inclined plate located in an intermediate central portion of the placement surface, or can be a plurality of convex portions or inclined plates disposed in an intermediate central portion of the placement surface along a direction orthogonal to the sheet discharging direction. Accordingly, sheets which have already been placed on the placement surface have a mountain-shaped configuration at the sheet ride-on portion. When a leading end portion of a sheet which is being discharged passes over a peak portion of the mountain-shaped configuration, a gap is formed between the leading end portion and a sheet which has already been placed, such that close contact of the sheet which has already been placed and the sheet which is being discharged is prevented.
