する。When the recording command signal P is input manually to μm00M(1), μ
m00M(1) is a selection signal S indicating whether or not to perform duplicate recording.
Judgment is made based on the presence or absence of The selection signal S can be arbitrarily selected by operating an external device (not shown), such as a keyboard. Then, when the signal S is present, μm00M (1) is set to the counter (2), assuming that duplicate recording is performed.
"2" is set for the counter (2), and "1" is set for the counter (2), assuming that normal recording is performed when the signal S is absent.

For example, it consists of random access memory (RAM),
The recording data is stored in the form of a dot pattern, and the lateral-motion dot pattern of the line to be recorded is written in the register (4) based on the signal S1. Register (4) is 204
It has a length of 8 bits, and a dot pattern is written bit serially from the lowest to the highest.

To perform this, a signal S2 is output to the drive control section (5>). Based on the signal S2, the first drive control section (5) drives the head drive section (6), so that the thermal head (7) registers ( Recording is performed by being driven to generate heat according to the do/do pattern in 4).
サーマルヘッド（７）は２０４８個の発熱素子が横一列

用紙を搬送部（８）にて搬送せしめる。μm00M(1) counts down the contents of the register (2) by 1 in response to the recording end signal RE, and after the countdown, determines the contents. As a result of this determination, if the content of the counter (2) is '0', it is assumed that normal recording has been completed, and μm00M (1) sends the signal S3 to the paper transport unit (
8), and the paper is conveyed by the conveying section (8) to the position where the next horizontal row is to be recorded.
