Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent an ink sheet from jamming during feeding thereof, prevent the ink sheet from being needlessly fed and enhance economy, by feeding the ink sheet at a speed lower than that of a paper when feeding the paper without recording. CONSTITUTION:After recording on a paper 27 is finished, the paper 27 and an ink sheet 17 are continuously fed. The trailing end of the paper 27 is detected by a sensor 30 provided on the discharging side, and operations of a platen- driving motor 12 and an ink sheet feeding motor 26 are stopped. Then, pressing of a thermal head 13 is released, thereafter the motors 12 and 26 are again operated to feed the paper 27 and the ink sheet 17, thereby discharging the paper 27. In this case, the feeding speed of the ink sheet 17 is set to be lower than that of the paper 27. Accordingly, the ink sheet is prevented from jamming, and idle feeding thereof is less frequently encountered.

Detailed Description of the Invention Technical Field This invention involves stacking paper on an ink sheet, pressing a thermal head against a platen while sandwiching them, and using the thermal head to ink the ink sheet while conveying both the paper and the ink sheet. The present invention can be applied to thermal transfer line recording devices such as printers, copying machines, and facsimile machines, which sequentially perform line-by-line recording on paper by transferring the image. Specifically, the present invention relates to an ink sheet conveying method for conveying a color or monochrome ink sheet in such a thermal transfer line recording device.

Prior Art In the above-mentioned thermal transfer type line recording device, only the paper is transported and the ink sheet is not transported when inserting the paper and setting it on the platen after recording and when discharging the paper after all the recording has been completed on the paper. In particular, as the platen rotates, the ink sheet that comes into contact with it may be fed by friction, and there is a risk that an ink sheet feed jam may occur.
