PURPOSE:To obtain the title printer capable of printing at any time during the shuttle motion of carriage by providing a switching mechanism to change over the position of an ink donor film which contacts the heating block of a thermal head, at a height of the heating block as a unit... CONSTITUTION:In a thermosensitive transfer printer with a thermal head 31 and an ink donor film (I IDF)s cassette 20 mounted, a line of data prints re recorded in the upper half of IDF 21. During this recording operation, the following line printing is possible by processing a sequence controller block 10, and said line is printed from right to left contrary to the preceding one line by feeding a single line of recording paper and using the lower half of IDF 21 through the energizing of a plunger-type solenoid 36as At that time, IDF 21 is reversely wound. If a carriage 30 reaches a home position, a single line' amount of IDF 21 used is wound by either of winding motors 45, 46. The same sequence as the above will be repeated in the following process. |
