Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent errors in use from being generated, by automatically switching a recording mode in accordance with whether or not an ink paper enclosed in a cassette is mounted, in a thermal recorder capable of both thermal transfer recording and thermal recording. CONSTITUTION:The ink paper cassette 5 is supported by a cassette base 7 and a switch base 8, with a winding core 2 fitted to a reel base 9. Simultaneously, a recording mode detecting switch 10 is closed under the weight of the cassette 5, thereby giving a command for thermal transfer recording mode to a head 11. In the case of thermal recording, where the cassette 5 is not required, the switch 10 is opened to give a command for a thermal recording mode to the head 11. Accordingly, misuse problems are prevented from being generated in the case where the user has forgotten to place an ink paper in position at the time of thermal transfer recording, the case where the ink paper is left in position at the time of thermal recording or in other similar occasions.
