Abstract

PURPOSE:To avoid the erasing of printed portion when erasing the portion to be written later by a method in which printing is made by transference of the ink layer of a thermal ribbon to a paper. CONSTITUTION:In case usual papers are set on a thermal printer, when the paper 11 is wound around a platen usually by turning its surface outward, ''...Co. Ltd.'' is printed on the surface of the paper 11. In case a transparent paper, e.g., OHP paper, etc., is set on the thermal printer, when the paper is wound around the platen 10 by turning its back side outwards and a printing switch for opposite direction is turned ON, information stored is taken out by reverse turn of before and behind and printed to display ''...Co.Ltd.'' In short, printing 15 is made on the back 11b of the paper 11. Since writing 16 is allowed on the surface 11a of the paper 11, even when the writing 116 portion is erased by a solvent, there is no likelihood of erasing the printing 15 portion on the back side.
