リンタ。[Claims for Utility Model Registration] A monochrome ribbon in which the ribbon end is transparent and other parts are coated with black ink, or a color ribbon in which the ribbon end is transparent and different colors of ink are coated along the feeding direction. In a thermal transfer printer that performs thermal transfer printing with a thermal head using a color ribbon as an ink ribbon, which has multiple bands and a ribbon marker consisting of a transparent part and a black part between each color band, The ink ribbon is sent between these elements, and when the light receiving element receives the light emitted from the light emitting element, it becomes "Low".
“Level” signal, when no light is received, “Hi”
gh Level"signal; and when the signal detected by the detection means when the ink ribbon is fed by a predetermined amount is only the "Low Level" signal, the ribbon end is detected. ○b If there is only a “High Level” signal, it is determined that a monochrome ribbon is set, ○c “High Level” Signal and “Low”
1. A thermal transfer printer characterized in that the thermal transfer printer is equipped with a determining means for determining that a color ribbon is set when there is a "Level" signal.
