本発明は熱転写シリアルプリンタに関し、特にフラゾｌ
−・プラテンを有する熱転写シリアルプリンタに関する
。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a thermal transfer serial printer, and in particular to a thermal transfer serial printer.
-Relating to a thermal transfer serial printer having a platen.

知し、それに対応した制御を印字ヘッドの発熱体に対し
て行っている。Conventionally, this type of thermal transfer serial printer uses a sensor as a means to prevent changes in print density due to the influence of ambient temperature. That is, the ambient temperature is sensed by a sensor, and the heating element of the print head is controlled accordingly.

い。従って、発熱体にかかる負担が大きく、印字品質を
良い状態に保つ制御が困難であるという欠点がある。The conventional thermal transfer serial printer described above uses a sensor to adjust the temperature of the heating element of the print head as a means of preventing deterioration of print quality due to the influence of ambient temperature. However, since the temperature of the ink ribbon is equal to the ambient temperature, the temperature of the heating element must be adjusted just at the moment of printing. Therefore, there are disadvantages in that the burden placed on the heating element is large and control to maintain good print quality is difficult.
本発明の目的は、かかる周囲温度の影響による印字品質
の劣化を防止することのできる熱転写シリアルプリンタ
を提供することにある。An object of the present invention is to provide a thermal transfer serial printer that can prevent deterioration of print quality due to the influence of ambient temperature.
本発明の熱転写シリアルプリンタは、フラットプラテン
と、このプラテンの温度調節を行う発熱体と、この発熱
体を制御する制御部とを有している。The thermal transfer serial printer of the present invention includes a flat platen, a heating element that adjusts the temperature of the platen, and a control section that controls the heating element.
次に、本発明の実施例について図面を参照して説明する
。Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

御行なっている。As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, this embodiment has a heating element 3.
The print head 2 is in contact with a flat platen 4 via an ink ribbon 6 and a printing paper 1, and prints on the printing paper 1 by energizing a heating element 3. Furthermore, the flat platen 4 is maintained at an appropriate temperature by the heating element 5 regardless of whether the printing operation is in progress or stopped. That is, this heat is transmitted to the printing paper 1 and the ink ribbon 6, so that the temperatures of the printing paper 1 and the ink ribbon 6, which have changed depending on the ambient temperature, are adjusted to an appropriate temperature, and the ink is easily splashed, thereby preventing deterioration of printing quality. Further, a control section 7 is connected to the heating element 5 to perform temperature control.
以上説明したように、本発明の熱転写シリアルプリンタ
