<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a print head driving method that downsizes a printer head and a printer using the method. <P>SOLUTION: The print head 10 forms the size of a mechanical picture element in a scanning direction by the size of 1/n (n is an integer of 2 or larger) of the size necessary for printing an original printing picture element. Here n is 2. However, it may be an integer larger than 2. A data input section 54 inputs image data to be printed by the printer 100 through an interface that is not illustrated. A control section 50 sends the print head 10 in the scanning direction through a motor 52. At that time, the print head 10 is sent in units of the width of 1/n of the size necessary for printing one original printing picture element. On the other hand, the control section 50 does not move the print head 10 in a vertical direction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
