PURPOSE:To enable high-quality recording free of collapse of recorded images, by such a control that auxiliary thermal energy for recording dot information in a recording direction is not generated in the case of a pattern in which dot information is present at least on three peripheral sides. CONSTITUTION:In the case of a U-shaped dot control, a heating method based on AMA control comprising heating After data A before the actual CG (cartridge) data, thereby heating a head. In this case, heat flows in the directions of arrows, and in consideration of this, heating is not performed for the first A data (broken-line part) at the center when Main data M is present on the upper and lower side of the A data. Namely, after the control is started, the A data is turned OFF when the A data is present and the M data is present, whereby dots are securely printed in the U-shaped pattern (a). In the case of an inverted U-shaped (b) dot control, also, heat flows in the directions of arrows, and it is unnecessary to heat the A data (broken-line part). In addition, U-shaped and square-shaped (outline form) dot controls are performed similarly to the above. |
