Abstract

Ein Verfahren zur Qualitätsverbesserung des Druckens mit einem Thermotransferdruckkopf und Anordnung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens, gestatten eine Berechnung eines Energiewertes nach unterschiedlichen Arten (Schritte 10, 20) durchzuführen, wenn ein Dot zu drucken ist, und führen im Schritt (30) vor dem Druckvorgang eine Berechnung von Energiewerten durch, mit welchen die Heizelemente an den Enden der Reihe an Heizelementen des hochauflösenden Thermotransferdruckkopfes in Wärmephasen auch dann angesteuert werden, wenn an den Rändern extern des Barcodebildes kein zu druckendes Dot vorgesehen ist. Zusätzlich werden auch diejenigen Heizelemente, welche nicht in den beiden Randbereichen der Heizelementreihe liegen, für eine begrenzte Zeitdauer angesteuert, wobei die vorgenannte Zeitdauer dem Drucken eines Barcodebildes unmittelbar vorausgeht. Ein Mikroprozessor berechnet die Energiewerte und ist mit einem Pixelenergiespeicher verbunden, zur nichtflüchtigen Zwischenspeicherung der Daten, die im Schritt (40) in eine Druckdatensteuerung übertragen und im Schritt (50) in eine Druckimpulsdauer umgewandelt werden.
