する。Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views showing a conventional glaze printer, in which (1) is a print head, (21 is this print head (
The head support base can be moved in the direction of the arrow (DI (B)) on the Ili support rail (3), (4) is the ribbon supply spool, (5) is the ribbon take-up school, (6 in Figure 1) ) is a thermal transfer ribbon that is color-coded in the longitudinal direction, and in the example shown in Fig. 1, it has three colors, A, B, and O.
.. It shows that they are colored differently in the order of A, B, etc. (7) in FIG. 2 is a thermal transfer ribbon that is color-coded in the transverse direction, and in the example of FIG. 2, it has three colors, A, B, and O, from top to bottom.

下この動作全繰返し媒体(9)上に所望の文字・図形を
所望の色で形成する。In Fig. 1, the ribbon supply spool (4) and the ribbon take-up school (5) are driven to move the thermal transfer ribbon (6) in the direction of the arrow to place the desired color on the medium (9). put. Next, tilt the print head (11) in the direction of the arrow (F) so that the thermal transfer ribbon (6) and medium (9) are in close contact with each other, and while controlling the heating of the print head (110 heating element), move the head support (2) in the direction of the arrow (F). D) Alternatively, attach the thermal transfer ribbon (6) to the medium (9) by moving in the direction of the arrow (El).
The ink is melted and transferred to form characters, figures, etc. 1
After completing the printing operation for the line, the print head (1) moves to the arrow (()
), the thermal transfer ribbon (6) is separated from the medium (9) and the thermal transfer ribbon (6) is driven in the direction of the arrow σ]) until the desired color is at the position of the medium (9). . Thereafter, this operation is repeated to form desired characters and figures in a desired color on the medium (9).
第2図においては、熱転写リホン(刀を矢印(J)ある

ない為、随時、熱転写リボン(7)全矢印(1−1)の
方向に移動させる。In Fig. 2, the desired color is placed on the medium (9) by moving the thermal transfer printer (knife) in the direction of arrow (J) or arrow (K), and the same printing operation as in Fig. 1 is performed. Since the thermal transfer ribbon cannot be used multiple times at the same location, the thermal transfer ribbon (7) is moved in the direction of the arrow (1-1) as needed.
従来の熱転写リボンを用いた多色プリンタは以上のよう
に構成されているので、第1図で示した装置においては
、熱転写リボンを移動させる時間がかかる。また不要な
色をとはして使用する為リボンの無駄になる部分が多い
等の欠点があり、また第2図で示した装置においては熱
転写リボンを」ユニさせる駆動力が別に必要であるとい
う欠点があった。Since a conventional multicolor printer using a thermal transfer ribbon is constructed as described above, it takes time to move the thermal transfer ribbon in the apparatus shown in FIG. In addition, there are disadvantages such as a large amount of ribbon being wasted because unnecessary colors are removed and used, and the device shown in Figure 2 requires a separate driving force to unify the thermal transfer ribbon. There were drawbacks.
