IMAGING APPARATUS AND ITS CONTROLLING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To transfer a recording material normally even if the residual capacity of a battery is low by suppressing the peak current when a plurality of kinds of recording material are transferred. SOLUTION: At the time of heating with heaters for driving a plurality of kinds of recording material of an ink ribbon while dividing into a plurality of groups depending on inputted image data, a CPU 20 sets the dividing number of heaters in a line thermal head 58 at 2 if the average value Ave of image data in units of line is not lower than a threshold value X otherwise sets the dividing number of heaters at 1 thus suppressing the driving current of heaters in the line thermal head 58 being driven through a thermal head controller 69.
