<p>PURPOSE:To enable use of both thermal recording and thermal transfer modes and shorten recording time when a medium for thermal recording is used by changing the number of thermal dots from a thermal head depending on the processes of recording using a medium for thermal recording and of thermal transfer recording using an ink sheet. CONSTITUTION:A roll paper 10 consisting of recording sheet 11 is stored so that the sheet 11 is supplied to a thermal head part 13 when the device is set to thermal transfer mode. On the other hand, the thermal recording sheet 10 is supplied to the thermal head 13 when the device is set to the thermal recording mode. A platen roller 12 transports the recording sheet 11 and presses an ink sheet 14 and the recording sheet 11 between the roller and a thermal element 132 of the thermal head 13. The sheet 11 where an image is recorded by the heat of the thermal head 13 is transported in the direction of a discharge roller 16, then is cut using a cutter 15 and is discharged when the device is set to the thermal transfer recording mode, the ink transferred from the ink sheet 14 to recording sheet 11 and an image is recorded there. When the device is set to the thermal recording mode, the thermal recording sheet 11 becomes colored to record an image. When an image is recorded on the thermal sheet, the number of dots which become heated simultaneously by the drive of the thermal head 13 is increased to cut the recording time short.</p> |
