Thermal transfer print head driving method e.g. for printer, involves determining print element in supply step and energy quantity of print element is determined

摘要

The method involves determining a first print element (2.3) in a first supply step (106.8) which can be supplied. The first energy quantity and in the first supply step (106.8) the first energy quantity the first print element is determined in order to transfer color carrier mechanism (3), assigned by the print head (2.1), on the color carrier mechanism (3) assigned substrate (4) for the production of a first pixel of a first print format (4.1). The first energy quantity in the determination step is determined as a function of the kind of print format of the first print format (4.1) within the range of the first pixel.
