PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a color thermal printer in which a color thermal recording sheet of different fixing sensitivity can be used. SOLUTION: A fixing sensitivity code described on a color thermal recording sheet is acquired at a code acquiring section 54 and inputted through an A/D converter 55 to a system controller 41. The system controller 41 acquires data of the quantity of fixing light corresponding to that code from a data table of the quantity of fixing light stored at a storage section 56 and then calculates the illuminance of each fixing lamp 26, 27 and the carrying speed of a color thermal recording sheet based on that data. Based on the calculation results, the system controller 41 controls a motor driver 50 and a lamp driver 51 and performs optical fixing. Optical fixing can be carried out with a quantity of fixing light matching the fixing sensitivity of the color thermal recording sheet. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
