<p>PURPOSE:To suppress the variation in recording density due to a recording pattern even when one-dot recording and solid recording are present in a mixed state, by separating the interval between dots constituting a block by two dots or more. CONSTITUTION:All of the strobe signals STB1-STBm of a strobe signal 9 are set to logic '0' and image data D11-D1n, D21-D2n,..., Dm1-Dmn are set. Next, when the strobe signal STB1 is set to logic '1C', the recording of the image data D11-D1n corresponding to a block 11 can be performed. Therefore, when the strobe signals STB2-STBm are successively set to logic '1', the recording of one line can be performed. When recording is performed using this thermal head, since heat generating resistors R11-Rmn constituting blocks 11-1m are separated by m-dots, even when solid recording is performed, said recording becomes the same state as one-dot recording and the effect of recording density due to a recording pattern is eliminated and recording quality is enhanced.</p> |
