THERMAL TRANSFER PRINTER SYSTEM

摘要

A heat-sensitive transcription printer system (100) is made up of a heat-sensitive transcription ink sheet cassette (10) and a heat-sensitive transcription printing device (50) on which said heat-sensitive transcription ink sheet cassette is loaded. On the heat-sensitive transcription ink sheet cassette is bonded an IC label (20) having an IC memory (21), a power receiving/supplying coil (23) and a diode (24) connected to the IC memory (21) and a signal communication coil (22) for performing communication of signals between the IC memory (21) and the heat-sensitive transcription printing device. The inherent discrimination information is previously recorded on the heat-sensitive transcription ink sheet cassette (10) and can be read out from it electrically. In this heat-sensitive transcription printing device (50), the driving power is supplied from a power supply unit (55) through a power supply coil (61), power receiving/supplying coil (23) and the diode (24) to the IC memory (21). A system controller (51) reads out the discrimination information and the using hysteresis information from the IC memory (21) through the signal communication coils (22, 56) to control the printing operation. <IMAGE>
