PURPOSE:To form a high-speed and low power printer with a low maintenance cost while preventing deterioration in the quality of print picture due to degrading of a head by arranging a printer capable of performing a recording operation in both directions with respect to the bidirectional movement of a serial head to extend the life of the head. CONSTITUTION:A serial head which perform a recording by applying a signal between adjacent ones of a plurality of recording needles 11a and 11b employing an energization type heat transfer recording system is used and performs a recording on one side at a time with respect to the bidirectional movement of the head body thereby enabling the recording in both directions. Then, a recording head 14 is equipped with the recording needles 11a and 11b on both sides of an electrode substrate and the surface contacting a heat transfer film 7 can be identified depending on the direction at which the head body moves. Thus, the life of the head can be extended along with a reduction in the maintenance cost. |
