Method of controlling ribbon motor for colour printing system

摘要

There is disclosed a method of controlling the operation of a ribbon motor for a colour printing system, including the step of rotating a ribbon (102) in reverse by one colour pitch so as to prevent the deterioration of print quality due to dust particulates on a surface of the ribbon after the completion of the printing operation. The above method further includes the steps of counting the time of the printing system being in a standby mode after the completion of the printing operation; and presetting a critical point in the printing system in order to compare a count of the time of the printing system being in a standby mode with the critical point.
